Christian Horner is once again linked with Ferrari, but this time it's not just paddock chatter. The former Red Bull boss openly described Maranello as a 'dream' he would be willing to chase, even if it meant giving up the ambition of becoming a shareholder and returning as a mere employee. His comments immediately sparked debate, especially after Flavio Briatore labeled Ferrari as the 'ideal lover' for any team principal.
Briatore didn't stop at praise. He also took a swipe at Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, adding fuel to the fire. His remarks suggest that the Ferrari seat remains a magnet, but one that comes with immense political pressure.
On track, Hamilton received a reprimand from the FIA for impeding, yet the seven-time champion remains optimistic for the weekend despite the SF-26's lackluster performance. Leclerc, on the other hand, appeared disappointed after Friday practice in Baku. Frederic Vasseur, as usual, just smiled—a reaction that might hide a bigger strategy.
Meanwhile, George Russell was the star on Thursday, while Andrea Kimi Antonelli struggled through no fault of his own. Lando Norris battled with the setup of his 'new' McLaren, but also played a bit of pretattica ahead of qualifying. The competition is heating up.
In MotoGP, Mugello has renewed its contract with Dorna to remain on the calendar until 2031. This is great news for Italian racing fans and cements Mugello's status as an iconic venue.
