Bono Spotted With Christian Horner 1 Week Before Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari Move, Leaving Fans Shocked

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.”

Another joke about Toto Wolff and George Russel being the only two people left at Mercedes after the 2024 season was made. The comment stated, “damn at this points only george and toto will be at merc lol.”

A user took a pick on the original poster because of the way the caption was formatted. The user pointed out how when the original poster mentioned the three names, it looked like they all had the last name, Horner. A comical theory of Peter Bonnington being Christian and Geri Horner’s adopted son was mentioned. The comment stated “Bono, Christian and Geri Horner” implies they all share the same last name, revealing Bono is the adopted son of Christian and Geri.”

Among all the jokes, one fan of Bonnington showed worry about losing his favorite engineer to another team that was not Mercedes. They commented, “My Bono is gone?”

A theory trying to explain the three-in-one picture was brought up by this user as they commented, “I read on twitter that apparently Bono’s partner is a trainer for the Horner’s horses.”

The resurfaced image stirred a lot of controversy.
