F1, Ferrari: Christian Horner reveals the backstory

The new Formula One season will see Ferrari with a change at the helm. In fact, after Mattia Binotto’s farewell, the Prancing Horse team has decided to hire Frederic Vasseur as its new team principal. However, as reported by FormulaPassion, the profile of Christian Horner had also been probed during the negotiation period.

This indiscretion was confirmed by the Briton himself at the microphones of the ‘Auto Motor und Sport’ website: “Being sought by Ferrari flattered me, as they are a great team. However, I am very attached to Red Bull and the people who work here. I have been with this team since the beginning of my career and so I feel very responsible for the team, it is a great group of people to work with. I don’t think I was ever tempted [to leave]. I feel connected to Red Bull and the people who work here. When you work with such an outstanding team, why would you want to go anywhere else?”
