An engine backed by horsepower ranging from 950 to 1050 HP is what’s under the hood of an average F1 car. But recently Christian and Geri Horner were spotted at Royal Artillery Hunt Point-to-Point races with Peter Bonnington. While it is common for F1 team members to partake in other interests, the timing of them being spotted together amidst the entire Lewis Hamilton transfer saga has surprised F1 fans.

Amidst the Lewis Hamilton transfer, it looks like his engineer Bono has been spending time with Team Principal of the Red Bull Formula One team and his wife. This comes as a shock to many fans as this can be seen as Bono mingling with the rivals. What comes as a surprise is the fact that this image was taken on January 27, 2024, which was just a week before the transfer of Lewis Hamilton was announced.

Seeing Peter Bonnington spend time with Horner and his wife has started bringing in theories of Bono possibly joining Red Bull Racing. Just after the departure of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari, rumors about Bono following him started surfacing, but with this development, fans are left all the more confused.

What did the fans think of Bono spending time with Horner?

The shocking image sent waves across the community with many starting to speculate what this means. One fan made a joke about Christian Horner leaving Red Bull to join Ferrari along with Bono. This stems from the rumors that Ferrari’s 500 million dollar deal with Lewis been seen as the reason Bono might consider Ferrari, taking his new friend with him. The user said, “I think we can take this as concrete evidence that Christian Horner will be joining Bono in defecting to Ferrari.”
