I've been hearing things that Fred Vasseur is gonna be given a contract extension because of the 'stability' that he brings to the team...  That prolly more like it means that Ferrari can't get Horner so they have no choice but to stay with Vasseur.  Cheesy Cheesy

So I guess the odds on Horner going to Alpine and buying 20% of the team is going up?  Chances are he's not taking a sabbatical.

Even though Ferrari's performance hasn't improved significantly with him, we can't help but acknowledge his ability to manage both drivers is a skill. It's even been said that both Charles and Hamilton are behind Vasseur, which explains his strategic position within the team, and explains why Ferrari was more interested in extending his contract with him than hiring Horner, who is currently available. And I think their decision was quite right, as Vasseur has extensive experience managing F1 drivers, even if he's less aggressive as a team principal.

As for Horner himself, while he's likely to join Alpine, there are recent rumors suggesting Cadillac is interested in signing him, so it's still unclear which team he'll join.
