Just breaking: GPFans reports Horner's hotly anticipated Australian tour—A Special Evening with Christian Horner in Melbourne February 24th, Sydney 26th, Perth March 2nd—got ditched over a scheduling clash, now pushed to summer July or August.

No major headlines in the last 24 hours, but the paddock's electric with his Alpine saga. Sky News says the 52-year-olds in deep talks with MSP Sports Capital—ex-McLaren backers—and others for a potential 2.5 billion dollar chunk of Alpines 24 percent Otro Capital stake, Renault holding the rest. Alpine themselves confirmed to Formula1.com hes part of an investor group sniffing around, though their focus is nailing that 2026 Mercedes-powered car after last in constructors 2025. Flavio Briatore admitted negotiations are on, but no decisions till September.

Rewind a couple weeks—still rippling big—Horner broke his post-Red Bull silence at the European Motor Show in Dublin February 2nd, per The Independent and AutoRacing1. Sacked last July after 20 years, eight drivers titles, six constructors crowns, amid those cleared inappropriate behavior claims, he spilled: I got unfinished business in F1, but only for a winning partner role, not some hired hand gig. Miss the sport, the people, but Im in no rush—linked to Alpine, Aston, even Ferrari.

Earlier February, he teased on Australias 9 News Today Show: Ive chatted every team on the grid, interest is sky-high, but Id switch to a fresh role post-21 years at Red Bull. One team boss even nodded to F1Oversteer that Horner nailed it back in 2022 warning about Frankenstein 2026 cars—prescient stuff with bio significance.

Speculation swirls on socials—X users hyped his comeback fire—but all verified points to a strategic wait-and-see. This could rewrite his legacy from dynasty builder to ownership kingpin.
