Johnny Herbert believes Christian Horner could be the answer to Ferrari’s prayers, pinpointing the Italian team as the “prime” target for the former Red Bull<\/a> boss.<\/p>\n

The three-time grand prix winner highlighted how the 51-year-old was able to create a “winning formula” at the Milton Keynes-based squad, even if it has fallen into a state of decline ahead of his departure in July.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tLance Stroll opens up on harsh F1 criticism: ‘I like to see it as just noise’<\/p>\n

Lance Stroll has shared how he handles the bright spotlight that comes with racing in F1, and what he does to counteract the harsh criticism he is often subject to.<\/p>\n

The Aston Martin driver is one of the most polarising figures in the Formula 1<\/a> paddock.

McLaren<\/a> team principal Andrea Stella maintains the “biggest challenge” facing the Woking-based squad is on the horizon, having wrapped up a second successive F1 constructors’ championship.<\/p>\n

The looming overhaul of F1’s chassis and power unit regulations creates considerable uncertainty ahead of the 2026 campaign and means that, despite having pulled itself up from the back of the grid<\/a> in early 2023, McLaren is far from guaranteed success next year, even as title holders.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tWhich F1 team is the best fit for Christian Horner after Red Bull axe?<\/p>\n

Christian Horner’s dramatic departure from Red Bull<\/a> in July 2025, ending a remarkable 20-year tenure, has left one of F1’s most successful team principals actively seeking his next opportunity.<\/p>\n

After negotiating a considerable severance package that crucially allows him to return to F1 in early 2026, Horner has been, according to Aston Martin<\/a>‘s Andy Cowell, “ringing around almost every team” looking for work.<\/p>\n
