Christian Horner says he does not need to return to Formula 1 after leaving Red Bull.

In an interview broadcast by 60 Minutes Australia, Horner said he was in a privileged position and had “the luxury of time”. Motorsport.com reports that Red Bull Technology Limited’s 2025 financial reports put his payout at £67 million. More than four years remained on his contract when Red Bull GmbH terminated his employment.

In the same interview, Horner said his appetite for speed remained, describing himself as a “speed junkie”.
