An important update has been published that explains what could happen with Lewis Hamilton if Christian Horner joins Ferrari.
This week, a shocking news confirmed that Red Bull decided to say goodbye to Horner, the team director, after more than 20 years in office.
The decision occurred after a mediocre season for Red Bull, which generated rumors that the star pilot and four times champion, Max Verstappen, could leave to join his rival, Mercedes, next year.
Since the news, the rumors about Horner’s future have been persistent, and many suggest that he could take the position of a new boss in Ferrari.
But now, a new report has explained exactly what could happen if Horner assumed a position in Ferrari, and they are not good news for Hamilton.
Apart from the surprising departure of Horner, without a doubt the greatest recent surprise in F1 was when the seven -time champion, Hamilton, announced that Mercedes would leave at the end of the 2024 season to join Ferrari.
Since his signing, the British has had difficulty recovering the form he enjoyed during most of his career in Mercedes, and his best result came with the victory in the Sprint race of the China Grand Prix in March.
Hamilton’s failure to reach the level that is more than capable of reaching, added to the fact that his teammate Charles Leclerc has also had difficulties this season, has caused the current director of Ferrari, Fred Vasseur, to face greater pressure.
But, although the incorporation of Horner, who has won eight championships and 124 large awards, may seem like a good idea, Formula 1 Will Buxton analyst does not see a scenario in which Horner can work with Hamilton in Ferrari due to his previous clashes.
In statements to the podcast The Sports Agents, Buxton said: “I don’t think this is the last time we see or listen to Christian Horner.
“This year there have been rumors that Alpine was courting him, rumors that link him with Ferrari. I think that is more exaggerated than Alpine’s. It is very close to Flavio Briatore. That seems more logical to me.
“If Fred replaced Christian Horner, I don’t think Lewis was a Ferrari pilot for much longer!”
