Christian Horner continues to deny any imminent Ferrari move, insisting he has made peace with the possibility that his Formula One career might be over. The former Red Bull team principal, sacked in February after an internal investigation into allegations he later denied, has faced persistent speculation linking him to the Maranello outfit.
Horner's dismissal from Red Bull ended a 16-year tenure where he built the team into a dominant force. Since then, every paddock rumor has attached him to Ferrari, one of the few top teams with a vacant principal's seat. He's heard it all before and apparently stopped caring whether it happens.
His comments suggest a man at a crossroads. Horner could wait for another opportunity, but his window is narrowing. The paddock moves quickly, and other candidates are already filling leadership roles elsewhere. By consistently downplaying Ferrari links, he's either protecting himself from disappointment or genuinely content stepping away from the grid.
Whether Horner actually means it about being at peace remains unclear. What's certain is that Ferrari hasn't publicly confirmed any interest, and Horner isn't pushing for the job anymore. For now, he's the sport's most notable unemployed figure, waiting to see if anyone calls.
