Christian Horner could now change Ferrari’s plan to ‘honourably’ sack Fred Vasseur

Ferrari is reportedly considering a plan to dismiss team principal Fred Vasseur, initially set for the end of the 2026 season, amid growing concerns about the team's performance. Christian Horner's recent comments about his desire to join Ferrari could influence this decision, as he has indicated he would give up his stakeholding ambitions for the opportunity to lead the Scuderia.

The team has faced challenges in competing for the drivers' title, with notable clashes between drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc contributing to dissatisfaction within Ferrari's hierarchy. While Vasseur has support from some drivers, the pressure is mounting, and Horner's interest may prompt Ferrari chairman John Elkann to reconsider potential successors, including Antonello Coletta and Jerome d’Ambrosio.
