Ecclestone suggests that Horner may return to Ferrari.
"It’s total chaos over there."
Bernie Ecclestone has dismissed the latest flurry of wild speculation connecting him - and ousted Red Bull boss Christian Horner - to a potential buy-in of Aston Martin. Blick reporter Roger Benoit, a long-time ally of Ecclestone, spent several days with the 95-year-old at his ranch in Amparo following the Brazilian GP, where the former F1 chief expressed disbelief over the rumors surrounding him. "How old do I have to become before these rumors about me finally cease?" Ecclestone quipped, after noticing an online montage of himself and Horner edited into Aston Martin's green.
Benoit reported that Ecclestone was presented with headlines claiming he and Horner were poised to invest in the Silverstone-based team — a notion he quickly rejected. "Another team I was supposed to buy with Horner," he remarked, puzzled. "But didn't technical genius Adrian Newey leave Red Bull for Aston Martin because he no longer wanted to work with Horner?"
Regarding where Horner might return, Ecclestone suggested a provocative possibility— the currently chaotic Ferrari. "I wouldn’t dismiss Ferrari!" he smiled. "It’s total chaos there. And (John) Elkann is even insulting his two drivers now." Benoit noted that Ecclestone continues to spend hours each day on his iPad, reviewing global press reports sent from his London office.
