Overview

• Sky Sports says exploratory conversations have occurred regarding Horner and Ferrari, while Italian sources play down the seriousness of the link.
• Ferrari remain winless in 2025 and face shareholder and executive pressure to improve, though Vasseur’s July extension indicates continuity for now.
• Horner’s Red Bull exit included a reduced payout reported around £75–80m that permits a comeback next spring under gardening-leave terms for 2026.
• Team figures publicly cool speculation as Aston Martin’s Andy Cowell quips Horner is calling “every team owner,” with Haas confirming only exploratory talks.
• Separate reports cite a roughly £3m settlement related to the workplace case preceding Horner’s departure, and he is booked for a keynote in Dublin in January 2026.
