Christian Horner’s first plans for 2026 have been confirmed, amid his ongoing push to find the right role which would allow him to return to the Formula 1 paddock. But he has already signed up for a public event before the new season even begins that will see the former Red Bull chief head to Ireland.

Horner, 51, has agreed to be a headline speaker at the European Motor Show, which is due to take place in the Irish capital Dublin at the end of January. He has been confirmed as the keynote speaker on the first day of the weekend-long event, on Saturday, January 31.
