Christian Horner in shock 'talks' with Ferrari

Christian Horner has been involved in shock signing talks with rival Formula 1 team Ferrari, according to reports from German media.

The team principal has been at the helm of Red Bull since 2005, and has overseen all six constructors’ championships and eight drivers’ titles with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.

According to German publication Bild, rival F1 team Ferrari have enquired into Horner’s services and have hinted at potential signing talks.

GPFans has contacted Ferrari for a statement on these reports, but neither Ferrari or Horner have themselves confirmed potential talks.

However, GPFans understand that Horner's position in the team is secure and that there are no plans to replace him having already decided to agree to a contract that is set to run until the end of the decade.

Could Ferrari’s management shift?

It has been no secret that Ferrari’s start to the season has been sub-par, particularly after the hype surrounding Lewis Hamilton’s entry into the team.

Despite finishing second in the constructors’ championship in 2024, the reality for the Scuderia is that they are the fourth best team behind McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes in 2025.

Aside from a sprint race victory in China, Ferrari have only stood on the podium in two races both of which were achieved by Charles Leclerc in Monaco and Saudi Arabia.

Ferrari and their team principal Fred Vasseur will be hoping that the FIA’s technical directive in Spain, and their subsequent upgrades, will propel them back into the top end of the field.
