Eight months after Red Bull parted ways with Christian Horner, the former team principal's name has resurfaced in connection with Ferrari. The idea has stirred debate among Formula 1 followers, and not everyone is convinced it would be a neat fit.
Quick refresher on the numbers
Horner spent two decades at the Milton Keynes-based team. During that time he presided over eight drivers' championships and four constructors' titles. Ferrari, in the same period, managed two constructors' championships and one drivers' title, with its last major trophy coming in 2008.
Previous links and current chatter
Talk of Horner joining Ferrari is not new. Last year the Scuderia quickly rejected those rumours, and high-profile drivers including Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc voiced support for the team's current principal, Fred Vasseur. The discussion returned just before the new season after comments from Juan Pablo Montoya, who suggested Ferrari might benefit from hiring Horner. Observers noted that any move would likely require patience from the team.
What the fans said
RacingNews365 asked readers whether Ferrari should sign Horner. The responses were split:
- 37.14% said yes, Horner would be a good team principal for Ferrari.
- 45% said Ferrari should avoid signing the 52-year-old.
- 17.86% said Horner would be strong at Ferrari, but the team should keep Vasseur as team boss.
The result shows fans are divided, with the largest group preferring Ferrari not to recruit Horner right now.
