CHRISTIAN HORNER has shut down rumours of a move to Ferrari.
The Red Bull boss was linked with Lewis Hamilton’s team with Ferrari chairman John Elkann said to be a huge admirer of the British 51-year-old.

Horner is one of the most successful team principals in F1 history, overseeing eight drivers’ titles and six constructors’ championships at Red Bull.
He most recently signed a new deal in 2021 but is out of contract next year, sparking speculation about his future.
When asked if Ferrari contacted him and if it was a job he would ever consider, he replied: “Of course it’s always flattering to be associated with other teams but my commitment 100 per cent is with Red Bull.
“It always has been and certainly will be for the long-term. There’s a bunch of speculation always in this business.
“People coming here, going there or whatever. I think people within the team know exactly what the situation is.
“My Italian is worse than Flavio [Briatore’s] English, so how on earth would that work?”
There has been plenty of infighting at Red Bull in recent years involving Max Verstappen’s dad Jos and senior adviser Helmut Marko.
Four-time world champion Verstappen even declared that he would quit the team if Marko was sacked following rumours he might be suspended.

A recent clash between the pair saw them support different drivers for the No2 spot following Sergio Perez’s departure.
Marko is said to have preferred Liam Lawson while Horner was keen on Franco Colapinto after he replaced Logan Sargeant at Williams.
