Christian Horner x Aston Martin: F1’s Wildest Rumor Yet

It’s the rumour that’s been circulating like wildfire—who bought the stake in Aston Martin’s F1 team, and could it really be Christian Horner? Sounds crazy…or does it? Let’s unpack it.

• Horner reportedly wanted a stake in Red Bull, and that was turned down. Did he look elsewhere to get the control he’s after?

• With an estimated net worth around $50 million, he likely can’t afford a $147 million stake in Aston Martin on his own—but teaming up with other investors could make such a move possible. If you caught the most recent episode of the pod, you know my dream team-up involves some very famous friends of Geri Halliwell’s — cough, cough, David Beckham.

• It’s a move that would replicate some of his biggest successIt—he’d be teaming up with Adrian Newey and Honda once again. The big question is: can he replicate what they had before?

• Could Aston Martin be eyeing Oscar Piastri? Horner dropped a hint about it at his last team principal press conference.

• Would Christian Horner’s contract even allow him to own a stake in a team he’s not managing? Could that create a conflict of interest, especially if he’s no longer the team principal?

We’ll definitely be watching this one—fingers crossed all of our Spice Girl reunion dreams come true!
