Ferrari has confirmed that Frederic Vasseur will remain as the team principal of its Formula 1 squad, following public speculation after former Red Bull boss Christian Horner said he would be interested in the role.
The Scuderia issued a brief statement reaffirming its confidence in Vasseur, noting that the French engineer continues to lead the team’s performance and development programmes.
Vasseur, who took charge of Ferrari in 2023, has overseen a period of rebuilding aimed at returning the historic Italian marque to regular podium finishes and championship contention.
Christian Horner, who has steered Red Bull Racing to multiple world titles, was quoted as expressing interest in a potential move to Ferrari, a comment that sparked media rumour about a possible leadership change at the Italian team.
Ferrari’s decision to retain Vasseur underscores its commitment to continuity as it seeks to improve its results in the ongoing Formula 1 season, while Horner’s remarks highlight the fluid nature of senior personnel discussions within the sport.
