Horner has been working with investors to acquire the 24% stake in Alpine currently owned by Otro Capital, a move that could have seen the former Red Bull boss return to the F1 paddock in a powerful ownership role. But now the situation has dramatically changed. Reports suggest Mercedes and Toto Wolff have entered the bidding for the same Alpine stake, creating a direct clash between two of Formula 1’s most famous rivals.  If the Mercedes-backed bid succeeds, Horner’s route back into Formula 1 could be completely blocked. The move would also be controversial given Mercedes already have a close technical relationship with Alpine, supplying engines and gearboxes under the new partnership that begins with the 2026 Formula 1 regulations.  This potential battle for control could ignite one of the biggest political fights the sport has seen in years. In this video we break down: • Toto Wolff’s shock Alpine bid • Why Mercedes may want a stake in Alpine • Christian Horner’s planned Formula 1 comeback • Why the Alpine share sale is suddenly a major F1 power struggle • What this could mean for the future of Formula 1 team ownership If you enjoy F1 news, Formula 1 analysis and daily F1 updates, make sure you subscribe to F1 Grandstand and turn on notifications.
