- Ferrari reiterated their "full confidence" in Frederic Vasseur as team principal, declaring the Italian F1 team "has made its choices" about who leads it.
- Christian Horner publicly suggested interest in the Ferrari team principal role, fueling speculation about Vasseur's future at Maranello.
- Frederic Vasseur retains his position heading Ferrari's F1 operation despite the Horner-linked rumors.
- Ferrari's explicit statement closes off the immediate narrative of a leadership change at the Scuderia.
Why it matters: Ferrari's public endorsement of Vasseur kills — at least for now — the storyline linking Horner to the most storied seat in F1 management. For Vasseur, it buys runway to continue Ferrari's car development program; for Horner, recently out at Red Bull, the door to Maranello appears firmly shut.
