Vasseur criticizes Horner for distracting Ferrari amid job search
Summary

Frederic Vasseur, team principal of Ferrari, expressed frustration over Christian Horner's remarks and job search, which he claims distract from the team's focus on the championship. Horner stated that Ferrari is the only F1 team he would work for without a shareholding. Following the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where Charles Leclerc finished fourth and Lewis Hamilton sixth, Vasseur emphasized the need for the team to focus on their performance as they fight for third place in the standings. Horner's previous dismissal from Red Bull, amid allegations of misconduct, remains a point of contention.
