F1 UPDATE:Christian Horner Makes Surprising A…read more.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has made a shocking revelation regarding the potential signing of a Ferrari star. Amid ongoing speculation about driver movements in Formula 1, Horner admitted that discussions had taken place, though he stopped short of confirming any concrete deals.

The Red Bull boss acknowledged that the team is always evaluating its options, particularly with uncertainty surrounding Sergio Pérez’s future alongside Max Verstappen. “We talk to a lot of drivers; it’s part of the business,” Horner said. “There have been conversations, but nothing is set in stone.”

The revelation has fueled speculation about which Ferrari driver might have been in talks with Red Bull. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz have both been linked to potential moves, especially as Sainz’s contract expires at the end of 2024. With Lewis Hamilton set to join Ferrari in 2025, Sainz’s future remains uncertain, making him a prime candidate for Red Bull’s interest.

If Red Bull were to bring in a Ferrari driver, it would mark a dramatic shift in the F1 driver market. While Verstappen’s position is secure, Pérez has struggled at times, leading to rumors that Red Bull could seek a stronger second driver.

As the 2025 driver lineup takes shape, Horner’s admission adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing F1 silly season. With Ferrari and Red Bull both seeking the best possible combinations, fans can expect more twists in the coming months.
