F1 INSIDER STUNS WITH CHRISTIAN HORNER’S POSSIBLE MOTOGP MOVE
F1 pundit Martin Brundle says Christian Horner could consider a move to MotoGP. With limited F1 options, Horner seeks a team ownership role, and Liberty Media's purchase of MotoGP creates a new opportunity.
Martin Brundle, a Sky Sports F1 analyst, has spoken out regarding the likelihood that Christian Horner, the former principal of Red Bull Racing, may find a new position in MotoGP, particularly following the company's acquisition by Liberty Media, the company that owns Formula One.
Following Liberty's 2017 takeover of the sport, the premier class of motorcycle racing may have a similar growth trajectory, particularly in the US market, as Formula One did. Horner may consider MotoGP as a possibility given that the two races are under one roof, particularly in light of the restricted opportunities in Formula One for the upcoming season.
After leading a group of investors to acquire the company, former Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner recently revealed his new position as CEO of the Tech3 MotoGP team starting in 2026. According to Brundle, Horner was looking for a different position than his former manager position at Red Bull, ideally one that involved team ownership.
However, that would only be feasible through a probable 12th Formula One team or if a current team is amenable to cooperation. But with a new era of rules starting in 2026, Brundle believes the other teams will act quickly to keep another club from joining the sport. According to RacingNews365, he stated in an interview with Sky Sports News:
"While they are all scurrying around trying to figure out the 2026 regulations, I believe the present F1 teams and other stakeholders will be pushing hard to declare they do not want a 12th team at the time.
For Christian, that could be an additional challenge. But his life revolves around Formula One. That is where his expertise and abilities are.
He went on to say:
"When I spoke with him, he made it very plain that he would only return if he had a stake in the outcome, if he owned a portion of the club, and if he was creating something instead of managing as he did with Red Bull.
"He was unable to obtain any ownership stake in that. Toto Wolff, who owns a third of Mercedes, is a prime example of how to accomplish it.
"Christian knocking on doors to check what is available is not surprising to me. In that regard, there are not many doors open for knocking.
Brundle then disclosed the MotoGP perspective, emphasising that Horner might be thinking about switching. He stated:
He will undoubtedly be considering MotoGP as well.
"There will undoubtedly be sponsors, partners, and other individuals who may wish to accompany Christian on that adventure."
KIM KARDASHIAN AND LEWIS HAMILTON SPOTTED ON ROMANTIC EUROPEAN TOUR TOGETHER
Kim Kardashian and F1 star Lewis Hamilton are turning heads across Europe as insiders reveal Kim's "Russell Wilson" nickname.
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are the latest celebrity duo making waves, and apparently, Kim’s already got a cheeky nickname for him. The two have been spotted out together in the Cotswolds, London, and Paris, just enjoying themselves and turning a few heads in the process.
Word is, Kim’s close friends are spilling a few details about this new romance. One insider claims Lewis isn’t looking to settle down right now, but Kim still has a special name for him—she calls him “her Russell Wilson”. If you know the reference, it’s a nod to NFL star Russell Wilson, who married singer Ciara after her high-profile breakup with rapper Future. Friends say Kim thinks of Lewis as a “sophisticated upgrade” from her ex, Kanye West.
Kim and Kanye—now legally known as Ye—were married from 2014 to 2021 and share four kids. Their co-parenting relationship is famously complicated.
Kim’s reportedly a bit anxious about how Kanye will react to her new thing with Lewis, considering Kanye and Lewis were friends back in the day. One source told the Mail, “They’re both cautious about Kanye’s feelings since he and Lewis go way back. Kim’s living for herself these days, but she doesn’t want to poke the bear. They know this could set Kanye off, so they’re keeping it light and just having fun for now.”
Kim and Lewis first crossed paths years ago at GQ’s 2014 Men of the Year Awards. Back then, they both showed up with their now-exes—Kim was with Ye, and Lewis was with Nicole Scherzinger.
Kanye even had Lewis over for Easter one year. He talked about it: “Lewis Hamilton’s over at my house, and we’re playing some music in my studio. We’re having Easter brunch—my wife’s family, my friends, everyone’s there. And everybody’s like, ‘What is this music?’ and I’m like, ‘It’s Lewis Hamilton’s music.’”
Since splitting from Ye, Kim’s dated Pete Davidson and moved on. Kanye’s remarried, too—this time to Australian architect Bianca Censori.
Those two have been in the headlines a lot, usually for their wild fashion choices. Things got especially wild when Bianca showed up at the Grammy Awards in a see-through gown. She arrived in a black fur coat but ditched it to reveal a sheer dress that left little to the imagination. People at the event were definitely stunned.
FERRARI SF-26 COMPLETES 121 LAPS IN HISTORIC LEWIS HAMILTON-LECLERC BARCELONA DEBUT
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc completed a "productive" 121-lap debut for the Ferrari SF-26 during 2026 testing in Barcelona.
Ferrari kicked off its on-track work for the 2026 Formula One season with a steady first day at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc split driving duties in the team’s bold new car, and the whole thing felt like the start of a new chapter.
With the 2026 rules shaking up both the chassis and the power unit, Ferrari didn’t chase lap times. They zeroed in on checking systems, making sure their data lined up, and ironing out any reliability kinks. The weather threw a few curveballs—rain, some dry patches—but even so, they got through their plan and stacked up plenty of laps.
Leclerc seemed upbeat after his first taste of the new machine. He said it felt good to get back behind the wheel and start figuring out the car, even if the focus was just on systems and not raw speed. “We came here to understand how everything works,” he said. “With the weather mixed up, today was all about checks. We finished what we set out to do, and the car did what we expected. It’s a solid start and a decent base.”
Hamilton, now officially in Ferrari red, felt the same. For him, it was a busy day—lots of on-track time, plenty of new things to get used to—but he called it productive. “We got good mileage, learnt a lot, and didn’t hit any big issues. That’s what matters with so many changes coming in. This gives us a strong platform for the next few days.”
Ferrari’s Head of Track Engineering, Matteo Togninalli, stressed how important it was just to get through the day cleanly. “Given the conditions, it went well for us,” he said. Rain or not, they racked up the laps and—most importantly—avoided any real reliability problems. That’s the top priority when you’re shaking down a brand-new car and engine.
Performance talk? Still way too early for that. Right now, Ferrari’s just learning how this new car behaves, gathering data, and building up bit by bit as the days go on—keeping their focus squarely on themselves.
