Exciting rumor about Red Bull team boss Christian Horner. A few weeks ago, another Formula 1 racing team contacted the British and asked whether it was available.
The “Sport Bild” reports on the request to Horner. There it is said that Ferrari of all people approached the Red Bull team boss and “loose” had asked him whether a move to Scuderia was conceivable for him.
However, the red “Sport Bild” picked up a cancellation from Horner. The 51-year-old does not intend to leave Red Bull and could not imagine working for another team in Formula 1, it is said.
The chair from Vasseur wobbles at Ferrari?
It is not surprising that Ferrari was presented with Horner in the first place. Under Fred Vasseur, the red have put an extremely bad start into the season and are only the fourth strongest force behind McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes.
So far, only the race in Monaco, which was ended in places second (Leclerc) and five (Hamilton), has only been really satisfactory. However, there can be no question of a trend reversal, after all, the Grand Prix is perhaps the most special of the entire season on the city course. The good Ferrari impression from the principality could be history again next weekend in Barcelona.
According to the “Sport Bild”, those responsible in Maranello sawed very easily at the chair of Vasseur before the Monaco weekend and wondered whether the 56-year-old Frenchman was still the right man for the job. Now “a little more calm” has returned.
Incidentally, this also applies to Red Bull, who took a big step forward in Imola and has believed in his World Cup chance again since the race in Italy.
