Speculation surrounding Christian Horner’s potential move to Ferrari has shaken the Formula 1 world. If the former Red Bull boss takes over at the Italian team, insiders suggest it could trigger an unexpected twist: Lewis Hamilton may reconsider his future with the Scuderia before even debuting.

What are the rumors about Horner and Ferrari?

Following Horner’s exit from Red Bull, several Italian and German media outlets have reported that Ferrari is eyeing him as a possible successor to Fred Vasseur, the team’s current principal. Vasseur is said to be under pressure due to the team’s inconsistent 2025 car performance, opening the door to a potential leadership change.

What has Hamilton said about the situation?

Lewis Hamilton, who signed a deal with Ferrari for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, recently addressed the rumors on his social media, posting: “I’m still here”—a message seemingly aimed at calming the speculation. However, prominent F1 journalist Will Buxton warned: “If they replace Vasseur with Horner, I don’t think Lewis stays long.”
