Christian Horner not joining Aston Martin says Lawrence Stroll – sources

Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll told the employees ex-Red Bull boss Christian Horner will not be joining the Formula 1 team in any capacity, sources have confirmed to ESPN.

The Canadian billionaire is understood to have told staff at the company’s Silverstone factory on Wednesday that a move for Horner was “absolutely not happening.”

Sources who were present have confirmed to ESPN what was said.

Stroll was speaking at the announcement of the team’s new leadership structure, which saw F1 design legend Adrian Newey — who joined as a shareholder and managing technical partner — made team principal, with existing boss Andy Cowell moving across to an engine-facing role with new suppliers Honda.
