Former Red Bull chief Horner Reportedly Contacting Numerous Grand Prix Team Bosses
Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is allegedly "getting in touch with most team bosses" as he pursues a return to grand prix racing, according to the Aston Martin team top executive Andy Cowell.
The Silverstone-based squad is included in the organizations that have been linked with Horner.
Cowell mentioned he had confirmed the circumstances with team owner Lawrence Stroll on Friday at the Singapore Grand Prix.
"It looks as though Christian is contacting nearly every team principal at the moment," said Cowell.
"I can clearly say there are no arrangements for the participation of Christian in an operational or investment role in the future."
Other Teams React
The American team team principal Ayao Komatsu revealed that the ex-chief had "reached out to" the US-based team but continued: "Things haven't advanced. It's over."
Alpine managing director Steve Nielsen mentioned the organization's advisor and acting leader Flavio Briatore was "long-standing acquaintances" with the ex-boss.
The Alpine director commented: "I'm unaware what they discuss. What I understand is there are no intentions for Christian to join Alpine but that doesn't mean it couldn't occur."
Williams boss James Vowles confirmed that the ex-chief had not contacted them.
"We're very happy with the organization we have and it's working," Vowles said. "I don't see any reason to alter this."
Previous Developments
The ex-Red Bull chief is free to return F1 by the second half of the coming year after finalising a severance package with Red Bull on September 22nd.

Several informants at the organization have indicated the settlement package was worth 60 million euros (£52 million).
