Christian Horner has said he is 'at peace' if he never returns to Formula One after his exit from Red Bull.

Christian Horner has said he is 'at peace' if a return to Formula One never happens, admitting 'my time is done' after what he describes as a 'brutal' period. The 52-year-old began a speaking tour to launch his new book, entitled 'Drive', at the Barbican in York.

Horner's exit from Red Bull came after the British Grand Prix in 2025, ending a 20-year career with the team. During that time he won eight drivers' and six constructors' titles. He was accused of 'inappropriate behaviour' by a female colleague but denied the claims and was exonerated twice by an independent KC. The subject is covered in his book in a chapter titled 'Out come the wolves'.

Horner continues to be linked with a return to the sport. Recent reports that he had described Ferrari as the biggest brand in Formula One reignited speculation about a move to the Italian team. However, Horner clarified his comments, saying he had spoken only of Ferrari's general aura and prestige, not of it being his personal ambition.
