Ferrari publicly backed its team boss Frederic Vasseur after speculation emerged about his future leading the Formula 1 team. The Italian team called an emergency meeting and subsequently issued an official statement, which points to the pressure the Scuderia is facing. Tagesspiegel ↗
The uncertainty surrounding Vasseur's position was fueled in particular by speculation about a possible successor. Among the names mentioned in this context is Christian Horner, the former Red Bull Racing team boss. Horner left Red Bull more than a year ago, but according to available information, he wants to return to Formula 1 and is interested in working at Ferrari. BBC News ↗
Horner is one of the most prominent and controversial figures in current Formula 1. During his time at Red Bull he led the team through a period of significant success, and his potential appointment at Ferrari would represent a major change in the leadership of the Italian team. Tagesspiegel ↗
The speculation emerged at a time when attention is also focused on the season's results. George Russell of Mercedes won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix ahead of Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Third place went to Verstappen's teammate Isack Hadjar. BBC News ↗
Ferrari has so far officially confirmed Vasseur's position, and there is no indication that the team would announce his immediate replacement. Horner's future in Formula 1 therefore remains a matter of speculation.
