Guenther Steiner has laughed out suggestions that he could be꧑ the man to replace Christian Horner as team boss at Red Bull.

Steiner is out of work after leaving Haas💛 at the start of the year, however, he’s been in the paddock as part of his TV role with German broadcaster RTL.

The 58-year-old worked at Red Bull between 2005 and 2008 before returning to F1 with Haas in 2016.

With uncertainty around Horner’s position at Red Bull amid the investigation into allegations of inappropriate behaviour - and the fallout surrounding that - would Steiner be open to being their new team principal🔥?

♛“Haha, I don’t think so,” Steiner told the .. “F***ing hꦐell, can you imagine?”

“It’s easy to say: ‘Yeah, I could do it.’ But that is yet to be proven. Do I believe I could do it? Yes. B🔴ut it’s a very competitive environment.”

Steiner remains “open-minded” about a possible🍬 F1 return - but he’s in no rush.

“You just go away for four day🔯s and th🐟en go back home,” he added. “F***ing hell! Easy!”

“I⭕’m very open-minded. I said that in the beginning. I just see what is out the꧟re.

“You know✅, I speak with a lot of peop🌟le, I still have a lot of friends. Obviously, I’m not involved operationally, but just people call me up and have a chat and things like this.

“But I’m in no hurry. I’m not going out to shop myself around. But if people ask, and then you look at𓆏 it and say yes or no and talk with them.”

The Italian also revea🤡led that a number of team bosses reached out after his departure from Haas.

“After [he lost his job] a few of them sent me texts saying: ‘Hey, you did a good job. You couldn’t have done more. It wasn’t in your hands any more.’ I🐷 got a few messages. A few called me up. So I think the respect is there," he concluded.
