Ferrari Backs Vasseur as Horner Rumors Are Knocked Down

Italian reports cast doubt on a leadership change, signaling continued focus on stabilizing a winless campaign.

Overview

  • Sky Italia reports there is no evidence of Christian Horner holding talks with chairman John Elkann, who has signaled full confidence in Fred Vasseur.
  • Vasseur remains in post on a new multi-year deal signed in July, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton offering public support.
  • The SF-25’s inconsistent form has left Ferrari winless in 2025, with Hamilton yet to reach a podium and recurring ride-height, plank-wear and brake-management problems exposed in China and Singapore.
  • Vasseur says trust with Hamilton is intact and that both sides are still bedding in, as the seven-time champion places increasing emphasis on the 2026 rules reset.
  • Ahead of the COTA Sprint weekend, Vasseur says the team is united and determined to better execute after recent poor outings.
