The world of Formula 1 is always very dynamic, not only because of drivers moving from one team to another, but also because of those who manage them. In this context, Ferrari is reportedly considering a major strategic move following the signing of Lewis Hamilton for the 2025 season.
According to the German outlet Bild, the Scuderia is interested in signing the current Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, one of the most influential figures in the paddock. The goal would be for the Briton to take charge of the Italian team in 2026, when his contract with the Austrian team expires.
Horner, who is 51 years old, has been at the helm of Red Bull since 2005, leading the team to eight world championships and building a hegemony with figures such as Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. However, his continuity has been called into question due to internal tensions within the team, including friction with Helmut Marko and previous disagreements with Jos Verstappen, father of the three-time champion.
Meanwhile, Ferrari is seeking to rebuild its present. The 2025 season began in an irregular fashion for the Cavallino Rampante, with Charles Leclerc and Hamilton in fifth and sixth place in the championship. Although Leclerc achieved second place in the recent Monaco Grand Prix, the team's instability has raised doubts about the permanence of the current team principal, Frédéric Vasseur.
