According to sources, Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll has definitively ruled out the possibility of Christian Horner joining the Formula 1 team in any capacity. This statement comes as a surprise, given recent reports suggesting Horner's potential involvement with the team. Horner, who was recently fired by Red Bull, has been exploring options to find a new role in Formula 1, with a focus on securing a shareholding position rather than a traditional team boss role. The news of Horner's exclusion from Aston Martin is particularly intriguing, as it raises questions about the team's future leadership structure and the potential need for a CEO to oversee the entire operation. Stroll's decision to publicly state Horner's non-involvement may have been influenced by the ongoing discussions surrounding Horner's potential collaboration with Aston Martin. Horner and Adrian Newey, the newly appointed team principal, had a successful working relationship at Red Bull, where they helped orchestrate two periods of dominance. However, sources indicate that Horner remains committed to finding a shareholding in one of F1's teams, and his future plans may still involve a collaboration with Aston Martin, despite Stroll's statement.
