Vasseur responds to Ferrari speculation amid Horner links
Fred Vasseur addressed speculation about his Ferrari future during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend, pushing back on links involving Christian Horner. The comments came as Ferrari faces scrutiny after an early promise under the 2026 rules reset faded into a less competitive phase.
Ferrari has come under increased speculation about its leadership as results have fallen short of expectations. After showing promise in pre-season and the early races following the 2026 rules reset, the team has slipped into a less competitive position, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton finishing fourth and sixth in the context cited by one report.
During the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend, team boss Fred Vasseur responded to repeated questions about his future at Ferrari. He said the ongoing talk was a distraction and made a pointed remark about Christian Horner, saying "Mr Horner" was looking for a job.
The wider noise around Ferrari also drew a brief reaction from Lewis Hamilton, who gave a blunt one-word response to the speculation involving Ferrari, Vasseur and Horner.
