Christian Horner to Ferrari update issued
Following reports that Christian Horner is being courted by Ferrari, a recent update from an Italian publication sheds light on the F1 signing saga, revealing that Horner was axed from Red Bull in July after his long tenure and success with the team.
Horner, who played a pivotal role in Red Bull’s six constructors’ championships and eight drivers’ titles, is now a sought-after figure in the paddock amid Ferrari’s struggles in the 2025 season.
Speculation linking Horner to Ferrari grew after reports of chairman John Elkkan’s interest, but a recent report from Sky Sports Italy dispelled these rumors, suggesting that no talks have occurred between Horner and Elkkan.
Moreover, with Fred Vasseur signing a contract extension with Ferrari and no reported intentions of replacing him with Horner, it remains uncertain if Horner will indeed make the move to Ferrari in the future.
As Ferrari continues to lag behind rivals Red Bull and Mercedes in performance, Horner’s potential involvement in the team’s future remains a topic of intrigue in the F1 community.
