Horner rejects Ferrari link

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has insisted he has no interest in joining Ferrari and remains committed to the World Champions.

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has insisted he has no interest in joining Ferrari. Whilst talk of Red Bull moving to Ferrari has become familiar in recent years, with World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Technical Director repeatedly linked with the Italian marque, it is an indication of the crisis brewing at Maranello in the wake of the F2012's disastrous debut at Melbourne that Horner, for the first time, has now had to fend off suggestions he could replace the embattled Stefano Domenicali. "Ferrari is a great team but my future is absolutely committed to Red Bull for the foreseeable future," Horner told The Daily Mail. "You can see what the appeal is at Ferrari but you can also see the pitfalls and my commitment is to Red Bull. Dietrich Materschitz gave me the chance as a 31-year-old to step into Formula One and entrusted me to build a team for him. "I feel very much part of the team and I have no burning desire within me to go and work at Ferrari. I am happy where I am. I have a multi-year commitment." It is understood that Domenicali has embarked on an emergency trip back to Ferrari's base this week even though the first two races of the season are back-to-back. However, major upgrades for the mishandling F2012 are not expected until the European leg of the season begins in May and the team are warning that another difficult weekend is likely to be in store at Sepang.
