Overview

• John Elkann publicly voiced full confidence in team principal Fred Vasseur at an event in Washington ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin.
• A Daily Mail report claimed Ferrari is courting former Red Bull chief Christian Horner, though no approach has been confirmed by the team.
• Friends of Horner were quoted saying he is seeking a new Formula 1 role after his mid‑season Red Bull exit, with Motorsport‑Total reporting a settlement that would allow a 2026 return.
• Vasseur took charge in January 2023 and received a multi‑year contract extension in late July 2025, signaling Ferrari’s intent to maintain continuity.
• Ferrari’s 2025 struggles continue with no victories and Lewis Hamilton yet to finish on the podium, a backdrop that team figures acknowledge has made the rumors a distraction.
