Horner's Preferred F1 Driver for Ferrari
Christian Horner would immediately try to sign Max Verstappen for Ferrari if he were to take over the team.
Ferrari recently gave team principal Fred Vasseur a new contract, but Red Bull's decision has put Horner back on the team's radar.
Despite Vasseur's new deal, Ferrari's poor performance in the 2025 F1 season has raised doubts about his future.
- Ferrari has not won a Grand Prix after 18 rounds.
- The team trails Mercedes by 27 points in the constructors' standings.
- McLaren has already taken the 2025 title with a significant point lead.
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton rank fifth and sixth in the F1 drivers' standings.
Horner's immediate target would be to convince Max Verstappen to join Ferrari.
