Vasseur accuses Horner of becoming a distraction for Ferrari

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur says that Christian Horner has become a distraction for the team amid growing speculation about the former Red Bull boss returning to Formula 1.

Horner, who left Red Bull in 2025, has recently said that Ferrari is the only F1 team that he would consider working for without being given an ownership stake. The comments have fuelled speculation about a possible move to Maranello.

Vasseur admitted that the constant questions about Horner are becoming frustrating, especially as Ferrari remains focused on the championship.

“We are not working in complete tranquillity because this question is addressed first to me and then to everyone in the team and the media,” Vasseur said. “Fifty per cent of the questions are about this, and the situation is a little bit frustrating.”

Vasseur added that the speculation is not the best topic of discussion for the Ferrari team as it continues its fight for the championship.
