Former Red Bull chief Horner appears at match after scandal: first public appearance.

Public event with wife

According to The Sun: Christian Horner made a rare public appearance alongside his wife Jerry to support Watford's team in a match against Coventry. Horner received a payout of £80 million after being dismissed from Red Bull in July amid a scandal involving personal messages that shook Formula 1.

The former team principal had kept a low profile since his departure but chose to appear at the match, which surprised many.

"This is an important moment for me, and I'm glad to be here primarily for the team," Horner said.

This appearance by Horner suggests a possible return to public life and may indicate his intentions to support the team and stay afloat during the difficult period following his dismissal. Supporting the team at such a crucial time could play a role in his future career in motorsport.
