Mr Horner had been team principal at Red Bull since 2005, overseeing eight drivers’ world championships and six constructors’ titles.

But this all came to an end last year when his team let him go mid-season over performance-related issues with the team.

Mr Horner’s potential move back into Formula 1 has now reportedly been “vetoed” by Renault, following the latest twist in the ongoing Alpine stake sale saga.

A recent BBC report suggested that a proposed deal for Mercedes to acquire Otro Capital’s 24 per cent holding in Alpine has now collapsed, largely because of concerns over the valuation being sought.

According to those reports, Otro are said to be asking for around $720m for their stake, implying a total valuation of about $3b for Alpine.

Otro only bought the shareholding in 2023 for roughly $233m, while Mercedes is understood to view Alpine’s overall worth as closer to $2.3b.

The report read: “Renault is said to have decided not to continue with any further talks on the matter.

“The French brand has a power of veto over any sale of the Otro shares until September, and would have used that to block any sale to a group that had links with Horner.”

This comes amid the 52-year-old’s first new role since leaving Red Bull last year, as he has been engaged by Oakley Capital as an advisor on the firm’s investments in premium sports.

The London-based private equity firm said Mr Horner will work with its investment team to spot and realise deals in what is now one of the fiercest battlegrounds in Europe’s private markets.

Founder Peter Dubens said: “Christian Horner is widely recognised as a highly successful leader in global sport.

“His track record, expertise and commercial instinct will be invaluable as we continue to scale our sports portfolio.”

A mobile speed camera van was parked up along the Hennef Way in Banbury, close to the M40, between 6.30am and 8.30am on Monday, June 1.

Police caught 97 drivers exceeding the 40mph speed limit of the A422.

The highest recorded speed was 81mph and two large goods vehicles were also caught speeding.

A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: “Speeding significantly increases the risk of serious collisions and puts everyone in danger.

“These figures highlight why our enforcement activity is so important.

“Please slow down, stick to the speed limits, and help keep our roads safe for everyone.”

Data reported on earlier this year revealed 69 per cent of speeding tickets handed out in Oxfordshire are from mobile speed camera vans.

Thames Valley Police caught 10,817 instances of speeding in the county for three months during the summer between July and September.

And of those, 7,512 vehicles were caught by somebody with a speed gun at the side of the road.

The worst area to get caught by a speed camera van is in the West Oxfordshire and Cherwell districts of the county, the data suggests, where 3,540 were caught in the three months.

Overall in Oxfordshire, fixed speed cameras flashed 3,305 times during the three months of summer, while mobile speed cameras recorded 7,512 instances of speeding.
