Speculation linking Christian Horner to Ferrari has once again emerged this week. Horner officially departed Red Bull in September, a move that followed his dismissal from the roles of team principal and chief executive in July, after an impressive two-decade tenure.
Reports suggest that the 51-year-old accepted a reduced settlement, estimated around £75 million, which would enable his return to the sport as early as next spring. Given Horner`s formidable record of success at Red Bull and his clear desire to rejoin the Formula 1 paddock, conjecture about his next destination is entirely understandable.
During his leadership, Red Bull achieved remarkable dominance. Christian Horner guided the team to four consecutive drivers` and constructors` championships with Sebastian Vettel from 2010 to 2013. More recently, he oversaw Max Verstappen`s four consecutive drivers` titles from 2021 to 2024, alongside constructors` championships for Red Bull in 2022 and 2023. This stellar history fuels the ongoing discussion about where his leadership might be seen next.
