Cadillac F1 Rules Out Hiring Ex-Red Bull Chief Christian Horner

Cadillac’s fledgling Formula One team moved to quash speculation that former Red Bull boss Christian Horner could be hired to run the outfit when it joins the grid next season. “There have been no talks with Christian Horner, no plans to do that,” Cadillac F1 chief executive Dan Towriss told reporters on 26 August, adding that the team’s full backing remains with current principal Graeme Lowdon. Horner, the longest-serving team principal in F1 history, was dismissed by Red Bull last month after two decades that produced eight drivers’ championships and six constructors’ crowns. His abrupt exit triggered rumours of an imminent return elsewhere, including links to the General Motors-backed Cadillac entry that will become the sport’s 11th team. Towriss made the denial while unveiling Cadillac’s first driver pairing—race winners Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas—and emphasised that Lowdon, appointed in December, will continue leading the squad. Cadillac has expanded rapidly with staff recruited from several rivals and operates facilities in Indianapolis, North Carolina and Silverstone as it prepares for its 2026 debut.
