Former Haas Formula 1 team principal Guenther Steiner has dismissed the possibility of Christian Horner and Fred Vasseur working alongside each other at Ferrari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speculation regarding Horner’s future intensified after he told The Times he would consider a leadership role at the Maranello outfit. Horner described working with Ferrari as “the dream” and indicated it is the only team at which he would accept a non-ownership position at this stage of his career.<\/p>\n

Speaking on The Red Flags Podcast<\/a>, Steiner suggested Horner is simply adapting his strategy to return to the championship and joked that he could be getting some publicity for his new book.<\/p>\n

“I think Christian wants to come back to Formula 1, and he said clearly that he doesn’t want to work for anybody anymore. Obviously, plan A for him doesn’t work out, so he goes to plan B and he doesn’t get a stake in Ferrari if he goes to work there,” Steiner said. “I think he\u00a0wants to come in and he sees an opportunity there.”<\/p>\n

He added: “The other thing, there’s nothing bad for him in it as well. He’s releasing a book so it will help the sale of that one, or maybe not, we don’t know, but at least it’s a little bit of publicity.”<\/p>\n

Steiner also addressed questions about Horner and Vasseur working together at Ferrari and dismissed the possibility.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think that’s going to happen that Fred is staying there working for Christian,” he said. “Fred in himself is a very successful guy. But first of all, I don’t know that Fred wants to leave or that he has to leave.<\/p>\n

“In the end, Fred has got a contract and how much are they worth in Formula 1? Not a lot, I guess, but there is not space for the two of them. That’s my opinion on it. That is not going to happen.”<\/p>\n
