Tuesday’s fast-paced F1 news includes Martin Brundle on the “key role” he believes Max Verstappen’s camp played in the sacking of Christian Horner as Red Bull team principal. Martin Brundle, the Sky F1 pundit, has claimed that Max Verstappen’s entourage “played a key role” in the sacking of Christian Horner as Red Bull team principal.

Having already made two approaches for Christian Horner, Leo Turrini has suggested third time could be a charm for Ferrari.

In fact, Ferrari have slipped even further back from McLaren since the end of the 2024 campaign when both teams were fighting for the constructors' championship at the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi. McLaren now currently lead the Maranello outfit by a mammoth 238 points .

Making his argument, Chandhok says it not only means Horner wouldn’t have to move his family to Italy, but he’s also good friends with Alpine executive director Flavio Briatore. “To me, I could see him landing at Alpine more than I could see him landing at Ferrari now,” said the former F1 driver.

Christian Horner has already revealed how he would manage Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc if he were to make the shock move to Ferrari.

If Ferrari move to make Christian Horner their new team boss, it would mean giving up the services of Lewis Hamilton.

In a similar vein to rivals Red Bull, tension is present in Maranello. Ferrari are still chasing their first win of the 2025 campaign and both Charles Leclerc and Hamilton have voiced their frustrations with the SF-25. This has sparked speculation about Fred Vasseur’s future, with the team principal out of contract at the end of the year.
