Through the official website of the F1 Insider (according to Ralf Bach), the following has been added:

“It is clear why Horner does it. He wants to avoid the trial because he is currently looking for a job, maybe even in achieving -if he really sees Ferrari's opportunity, what has just happened makes sense.”

“Despite the extension of the contract, Ferrari apparently wants to get rid of Vasseur, and John Elkann is seemingly focused on securing Christian Horner's site.”

The Ferrari Formula 1 team has fought against the season 2025 F1 in progress. The dress has not yet accumulated a victory, and during round 18, the Singapore Grand Prix, they had a difficult time again as drivers Charles Leclerc And Lewis Hamilton ended out of the top five.

Former F1 driver believes Ferrari “needs” Christian Horner

While Ralf Bach has reported that Ferrari could go to Christian Horner in the near future, the former F1 Conductor, Johnny Herbert, has also recently supported the Horner's perspective carried out by the Italian team's iconic red team.

Accordingly, Herbert said that Ferrari needs Horner to create a “winning formula” to prosper in F1. Through an interaction with GrandPrix247, he added:

“Like anything, you have to be able to attract the right staff to be able to have the chance to have the car faster. I am sure there was a push to try to get Adrian Newey to join and maybe there should be a bigger push for this to happen.”

“I like very cold vasseur, but you may need to get someone who has been able to create a winning formula. And that can point Christian Horner.”

Horner is a proven winner at the Pinacle de Motorsport. During their long tenure with Red BullHe was able to accumulate an impressive six builders and eight drivers championships.
