Christian Horner Shows Interest in MotoGP? The former Red Bull team principal made an unexpected visit to the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez. In the paddock, he was seen alongside Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. Horner spent the final practice session of the weekend in the garage of the factory Honda team, where he spoke with team principal Koji Watanabe. Rumors quickly emerged that Horner might be considering buying a MotoGP team. Horner himself did not dismiss the possibility, noting that he currently has some free time: "I have always been a big fan of MotoGP... The last time I was at a race was in Estoril in 2005."
