Christian Horner speaks out on Ferrari switch rumours

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has spoken out following rumours that Ferrari contacted the Briton. 

It was reported in Germany that Ferrari had approached the Red Bull boss over becoming its new team principal, a possibility Horner has rejected. 

Horner has held his lead Red Bull role since it entered Formula 1 back in 2005, and has led the Milton Keynes-based outfit to eight drivers' titles and seven constructors' championships. 

Red Bull has become one of the biggest teams in the pinnacle of motorsport under his leadership; however, did face speculation earlier this season that an exit was possible. 

Following the Austrian outfit's bad start to the current campaign, it was also rumoured that Horner could be replaced, something else which has proven to be untrue. 

The outfit has turned a corner in recent races, with Horner being very much committed to the team.

He is the longest-serving team principal on the current F1 grid, and does not see himself moving to Maranello in the near future.

"It’s always flattering to be associated with other teams, but my commitment 100% is with Red Bull," Horner told media including RacingNews365.

"It always has been and certainly will be for the long term. There’s a bunch of speculation about, always in this business, people coming here, going there, whatever.

"And I think people in the team know exactly what the situation is. I mean, my Italian is worse than Flavio’s English so how on Earth would that work?"
