Vasseur Says Christian Horner Is a Distraction for Ferrari

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has said that Christian Horner, the former Red Bull Racing boss, is creating a distraction for Ferrari because of ongoing speculation linking him to a role at the team, according to BBC Sport.

Vasseur said Horner is "looking for a job," a remark made in response to questions about rumors connecting the former Red Bull principal to Ferrari's Formula 1 operation.

Horner left his long-standing position at Red Bull earlier this year after leading the team through a period of sustained success in Formula 1. Since his departure, he has been the subject of periodic speculation about a possible return to a senior role elsewhere on the grid.

Vasseur has led Ferrari's Formula 1 team since 2023, overseeing the team through a period of change as it seeks to return to championship contention. His comments suggest the ongoing speculation about Horner has become a source of distraction for Ferrari as the team focuses on its on-track performance.

BBC Sport did not report further details on the nature or source of the rumors linking Horner to Ferrari, and neither Ferrari nor Horner has confirmed any formal discussions between the parties.
