Ferrari Reaffirms Vasseur as Team Principal, Dismisses Horner Rumors

Chairman John Elkann issued a public vote of confidence to shut down external speculation.

Overview

  • Fred Vasseur said the message from Elkann was aimed at a “third party” and intended to end the discussion over his position.
  • Corriere della Sera and Sky Sports Italy reported that Christian Horner is not on Ferrari’s radar, describing the claims as unfounded.
  • Ferrari renewed Vasseur’s contract in July on a multi‑year term, which insiders cite as reinforcing continuity.
  • Autosport reported that Horner has contacted teams about a route back to F1, but Elkann’s stance effectively rules out a Ferrari move.
  • Ferrari finished third and fourth at the United States Grand Prix and remains third in the standings without a 2025 win, a context fueling the recent speculation.
