Previous Red Bull chief Christian Horner is apparently "ringing up pretty much every team owner" as he pursues a re-entry to Formula 1, per the Aston Martin team top executive Andy Cowell.

The Silverstone-based squad is included in the teams that are associated with Horner.

Cowell revealed he had confirmed the circumstances with team principal Lawrence Stroll recently at the Singapore GP.

"It appears that Christian is contacting nearly every team principal at the moment," said the executive.

"I can clearly say there are no intentions for the involvement of Christian in an leadership or investment capacity in the future."

Further Organizations Respond

The US-based squad chief Ayao Komatsu stated that Horner had "reached out to" the US-based team but noted: "No progress has been made. It's over."

The Renault-owned team managing director Steve Nielsen mentioned the squad's senior consultant and unofficial chief Flavio Briatore was "longtime companions" with the ex-boss.

The team official commented: "I'm unaware what they converse about. What I understand is there are no arrangements for Christian to arrive at Alpine but that doesn't mean it won't happen."

The historic British team team principal James Vowles stated that the ex-chief had not reached out to them.

"We're quite satisfied with the structure we have and it's working," Vowles said. "I don't see any reason to alter this."

Previous Developments

Horner is able to come back Formula 1 by the second half of the coming year after finalising a separation agreement with Red Bull on the 22nd of September.

The fifty-one-year-old was fired as the team's leader after the British Grand Prix in July.

Various insiders at the organization have suggested the settlement package was estimated at 60m euros (£52 million).
