Karun Chandhok weighs up ‘potential' next F1 team for Christian Horner
Karun Chandhok speculated that Christian Horner could join Alpine as team principal after his Red Bull exit. Horner was relieved of his duties as Red Bull F1 CEO last week in a surprise announcement, after 20 years and 14 world titles with the team. The 51-year-old has not missed a race since taking charge of Red Bull in 2005 but is set for some time away from the sport in light of his departure. However, Horner has been linked with Ferrari in recent months – and a potential link-up with Lewis Hamilton – but Sky Sports pundit Chandhok named another outfit who could target Horner. 'Could he go to Alpine and stay living in the UK?' Chandhok told Sky Sports News. 'Alpine are still based in that motorsport valley and are looking for a team principal. Christian's old friend Flavio Briatore is in charge. That could be a potential destination. 'Could he go to Ferrari? There were lots of rumours that they tried to hire him on various occasions. I don't think he'll go there.' Horner lives in rural Oxfordshire, close to Alpine's UK base in Enstone, and has a close relationship with Alpine adviser Briatore. Laurent Mekies, formerly team principal at sister team Racing Bulls, has taken over from Horner at Red Bull and will take charge from the next race, the Belgian Grand Prix (25-27 July). Red Bull are currently fourth in the constructors' championship while star driver Max Verstappen is 69 points behind leader Oscar Piastri in the drivers' standings at the halfway stage of the season.

Why Donald Trump can teach primary school children how to avoid toxic group chats leading to violence

The recent fall out between Trump and Musk had all the hallmarks of a Greek tragedy, a struggle between two characters, with ambition, hubris and a downfall, or as much of one you can have as a billionaire, all played out on a grand stage – or at least on social media. But after accusations were levelled on social media, despite initially fuelling the feud and trading insults and threats, Trump eventually employed tactics to take the heat out of the fallout. De-escalation. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Few of us can have looked at the geopolitical events over the past weeks and not hoped for de-escalation – the art of reducing tension and potential conflict. Some issues, of course, require confrontation, so great or heinous are the matters at stake, but even then, we need strategies for engaging so that emotion and impulse are not brought to the fore. Donald Trump, Elon Musk and his son X Musk in the White House in February before the two men fell out (Picture: Andrew Harnik) | Getty Images 'Are you sure?' It seems now that conflict is the thread that underpins our current status quo, whether on the streets, in schools, or across geopolitical borders – the concept of de-escalation has never been more needed. Skilled negotiators and diplomats use that old technique of speaking to someone on the phone (yes, young people, that is a thing) or identifying others who can intervene to calm a situation, before the hard work starts in negotiations. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I rather like some of the prompts that are now on social media platforms, 'are you sure you want to post this?', although the evidence, at least to my reading, is that people seem to think 'meh, yes'. Nothing engages more like outrage. I am endlessly defending young people, the vast majority lead good lives, aspire, are engaged and so much more, yet I do lament their ability to pick up the phone and actually speak. Messaging group chats with large numbers of young people are fertile grounds for insults, sarcasm and misinformation. READ MORE: The tragedy of Scottish children who just disappear between primary and secondary Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Toxic, explosive, violent Primary teachers have shown me these group chats and how toxic and explosive they can be, leading to fights in and around schools. Older groups prearrange meet-ups ending in violence, sometimes with catastrophic consequences. We know that many teachers practice de-escalation techniques, but it is our young people who also need these tactics. Working out how to slow down encounters that they have online, how to step back, introduce a 'circuit breaker' to defuse or dampen down an interaction. It's never as simple as this; de-escalation takes emotional intelligence, an understanding of the role of ego and adrenaline. More critically, de-escalation involves the parts of the brain that aren't always fully developed in young people, such as the prefrontal cortex. This is often referred to as the reasoning part of the brain and is where our ability to make decisions, practice self-control and understand consequences is based. Unfortunately, one of the most developed parts of the teenage brain, the amygdala, is where all our primitive aspects are situated – aggression, impulse and fear. It's a powerful influence on how young people act and behave. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Yet de-escalation is a skill that we must teach our young, older people and maybe even our leaders. In this febrile and online world, de-escalation shouldn't feel like a radical act. It should become a key skill at every level, embedded in policy, schools and in our institutions.
