F1 fans have decided that they would like to see Christian Horner make a stunning move to Ferrari, according to the results of a RacingNews365 poll.
Horner was sacked by Red Bull on Wednesday, ending his 20-year stint at the helm, with Racing Bulls boss Laurent Mekies taking his place.
After the news, RacingNews365 opened a poll to ask fans what they felt Horner should do next following his dismissal, presenting a number of viable options.
A bombshell move to link up with Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari emerged victorious, earning 32.09% of the vote.
However, it must be noted that 'Ferrari' did not receive an absolute majority of votes in the poll, it simply gathered the most votes from the options.
Current Scuderia boss Fred Vasseur's position has been under the spotlight in recent weeks, given Ferrari's poor season, by its pre-season expectations of challenging for the title, with Horner being heavily-linked to the position, but he ruled himself out.
Elsewhere, moves to either Aston Martin or Alpine also proved popular, with a move to a rival team earning 68.18% of the total number of votes cast, as can be seen in the table below.
What should Christian Horner do next after Red Bull sacking?
| Option | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Join Ferrari | 32.09% |
| Join Aston Martin | 18.86% |
| Join Alpine | 17.28% |
