Christian Horner commits future to Red Bull after Ferrari link

The lure of Ferrari has been enough to tempt many over the years but it would seem one man who has no interest in moving to Maranello is Red Bull team principal and CEO Horner.

The 51-year-old, who is the longest-serving team boss on the grid, was recently linked with a move to Ferrari but insisted his focus was on Milton Keynes.

“It’s always flattering to be associated with other teams, but my commitment 100% is with Red Bull,” he told media including PlanetF1.com in Barcelona.

“It always has been and certainly will be for the long term.”

Addressing the rumours directly, Horner said there was always talk but raised his lack of Italian as an issue, poking fun at Alpine boss Flavio Briatore who he was sat alongside.

“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?”
