Christian Horner’s Ferrari ‘dream’ dashed as F1 chief speaks out

  • Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has dismissed Christian Horner's expressed interest in joining the Scuderia outfit, claiming the former Red Bull boss is simply “looking for a job”.
  • Horner, who was sacked by Red Bull last summer, stated in an interview with The Times that moving to Ferrari would be “the dream” and the only team he would join without holding an ownership stake.
  • Vasseur voiced frustration over ongoing media speculation regarding Horner during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where Ferrari experienced another disappointing race weekend with Charles Leclerc finishing fourth and Lewis Hamilton sixth.
  • Despite Ferrari holding second place in the constructors' championship with only two race wins this season, Vasseur stressed that the team needs to stay focused on improving performance rather than external rumours.
  • Lewis Hamilton confirmed he retains full faith in Vasseur amidst the speculation, as the seven-time world champion trails championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 103 points with eight races remaining.
