Will Christian Horner head the Ferrari team?

      Former Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner may continue his career at Ferrari, German outlet F1-Insider writes, citing its source. According to the publication, Ferrari president John Elkann is seriously considering dismissing Frederic Vasseur from the position of Formula 1 team principal and inviting Christian Horner to take his place. However, such a scenario would effectively put an end to Ferrari’s prospects of obtaining Max Verstappen in 2027, since it is believed that Horner’s departure was a condition under which the four-time world champion would remain at Red Bull Racing. “Despite the contract extension, Ferrari apparently want to get rid of Vasseur,” the F1-Insider article claims. “John Elkann, it seems, is focused on getting Christian Horner, who has fourteen championship titles to his name. John Elkann is considered a very emotional person who is interested not in what he thought yesterday but in what he thinks today. They extended Vasseur’s contract, but his position has been shaken again. And that’s where Horner comes into play. Apparently, people at Ferrari do not realize that by doing so they are closing the door on Verstappen.”
