Christian Horner has been told which F1 team should be his “prime” target as he looks to mount a comeback after his Red Bull gardening leave lapses next year.
Johnny Herbert believes that Christian Horner could be the answer to Ferrari’s prayers, as the former Red Bull boss has a proven track record of creating a winning formula at his former team. Despite Ferrari’s struggles this season, with no grand prix victories yet, the optimism that came with Lewis Hamilton’s arrival has faded. Led by Fred Vasseur, Ferrari was aiming to return to the championship summit, but this now seems delayed until at least 2026. With Mercedes and Red Bull performing strongly, Ferrari is in danger of finishing fourth in the constructors’ standings, prompting speculation about potential leadership changes at the Italian team. Herbert suggests that bringing in someone like Horner, who has experience in creating winning teams, could be a sensible move for Ferrari in their quest for success.
