Ferrari interest in shock Horner and Hamilton mega team clarified
Christian Horner’s potential return as a team boss for Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari is facing obstacles, with reports in Italy indicating skepticism.
Horner was recently removed from his role as Red Bull team principal after two decades, leading to speculations about his next move, with Ferrari and Alpine being considered.
Ferrari is evaluating a change in team principal due to their disappointing performance under Fred Vasseur’s leadership, coupled with their struggles to end a championship drought dating back to 2008.
Despite the allure of creating a strong team with Charles Leclerc and Hamilton, Ferrari’s interest in Horner seems to have waned due to concerns over his off-track controversies.
As Ferrari prepares for the Belgian Grand Prix, they seek to capitalize on Hamilton’s recent improvements and Leclerc’s potential resurgence after a challenging race at Silverstone.
Although Horner’s future with Ferrari remains uncertain, the team’s focus on on-track performance and strategic decisions will be crucial as they aim to return to championship contention.
