Ferrari Issues 'Extraordinary' Official Statement on Christian Horner
On Tuesday, Ferrari Chief Communications Officer Maria Conti confirmed the team's "full confidence" in team boss Fred Vasseur, seeking to end persistent rumors about his future role.
Speculation intensified after Christian Horner told The Times that a return to Formula 1 with Ferrari would be "the dream," prompting Vasseur to respond on Saturday in Baku.
Vasseur admitted he had been asked "25 times a day" about his job, while Lewis Hamilton noted the team is not working in "perfect serenity" amid constant questioning.
Conti added that with more than 21 social media channels fueling the "storm of communication," the team must now refocus on the upcoming race in Malaysia.
Ferrari hopes to stabilize as they fight for P2 in the 2026 constructors' championship, despite engine performance falling short of Mercedes and Red Bull by 160 points.
It is an unusual step of Ferrari - and illustrates the pressure at the Scuderia. A shift is called at short notice. It is about the Formula 1 team boss.
