Previous Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is allegedly "getting in touch with most team bosses" as he attempts a return to grand prix racing, as stated by the Aston Martin team CEO Andy Cowell.

The British racing team is one of the organizations that are associated with Horner.

The team executive stated he had confirmed the situation with squad proprietor Lawrence Stroll recently at the Marina Bay race.

"It seems like Christian is getting in touch with most team bosses at the moment," stated the CEO.

"I can definitively state there are no arrangements for the engagement of Christian in an leadership or investment capacity in the future."
