Horner ‘in talks’ with Ferrari to become Lewis Hamilton’s new boss
Reports suggest that Christian Horner is in talks to become the team principal of Ferrari’s F1 team after being ousted by Red Bull in July.
Horner’s departure from Red Bull followed a successful 20-year stint, winning eight drivers’ titles and six constructors’ championships, but he faced allegations that he was later cleared of.
After poor performance from Red Bull in the 2025 season, Horner was let go, leading to Laurent Mekies taking over and the team winning two races with Max Verstappen.
Since Horner’s departure, rumors of him joining various F1 teams have circulated, with Mail Sport revealing talks with Ferrari to replace Fred Vasseur.
Vasseur’s Ferrari team has struggled in the 2025 season despite signing Lewis Hamilton, leading to speculation about his future with the team and Horner potentially taking over in 2026.
