Ferrari<\/a> is reportedly primed to make a move for former Red Bull Formula 1<\/a> boss Christian Horner amid a drop in the brand\u2019s share prices.<\/p>\n

The Maranello-based squad has endured a difficult 2025 season, with no Grand Prix wins, five podiums and a solitary pole position.<\/p>\n

It has not been a happy year for Horner either, the 51-year-old finding himself ousted by Red Bull after 20 years as Team Principal in July.<\/p>\n

Ferrari\u2019s prolonged spell in the doldrums, as well as 18 years without a Drivers\u2019 Championship, has placed increasing pressure on current boss Fred Vasseur.<\/p>\n

And with the Italian marque\u2019s shares falling by nearly 15 per cent, Vasseur\u2019s position, despite extending his current contract a matter of weeks ago, is apparently under threat.<\/p>\n

Horner, since securing his severance package from Red Bull last month, is seeking a swift return to the sport, with roles at Alpine and Haas frequently rumoured, as well as Aston Martin boss Andy Cowell\u2019s claims that he has spoken to the majority of the teams on the grid to sound out a potential collaboration.<\/p>\n

And according to F1-Insider, it appears that Ferrari chairman John Elkann is set to make a swoop for Horner, a man who has been at the centre of longstanding rumours of a potential move to Maranello, even when secure at Red Bull.<\/p>\n

\u201cHorner has 14 World Championship titles on his resume,\u201d wrote journalist Ralf Bach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cElkann is considered a very emotional guy who isn\u2019t interested in what he thought yesterday, but rather what he thinks today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve extended Vasseur\u2019s contract, and yet his position is apparently already wobbling again. And that\u2019s where Horner comes in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"FredFred Vasseur renewed his contract with Ferrari earlier this year<\/p>\n

Ferrari chairman labels victory as a \u2018duty\u2019 to its F1 fanbase<\/p>\n

The longest gap that Ferrari has gone between F1 championships was between 1979 and 2000, with a gap of 16 years between Constructors\u2019 titles between 1983 and 1999.<\/p>\n

It is now 18 years since Kimi Raikkonen won the title in 2007, and 17 years since its last Constructors\u2019 victory, and the prospect of this unenvied record being broken is very real.<\/p>\n

The issue of its stagnancy behind the likes of McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes in F1 both recently and currently was addressed by Elkann, who, along with Ferrari CEO Beneditto Vigna<\/a>, spoke at Ferrari\u2019s Capital Markets Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to improve,\u201d he was quoted as saying. \u201cOur goal was to win races. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe achieved that with the 499P [that won the Le Mans 24 Hours] in endurance racing, but in Formula 1 we need to improve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must win because it\u2019s our duty to our loyal fans around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
