Max Verstappen wins third consecutive Formula One world championship<\/h3>\n

Christian Horner has revealed that his \u2018heart\u2019 remains with Red Bull, despite being linked with a move elsewhere previously. The team principal has guided his team to a dominant spot in Formula One, with Max Verstappen recently clinching his third consecutive World Championship.<\/p>\n

Horner revealed earlier this year that he was the subject of interest from Ferrari, who were keen to lure him away from Red Bull and replace Mattia Binotto. Although \u2018flattered\u2019 by the approach, the 50-year-old rebuffed the offer and insisted that he was keen to remain with Red Bull for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Although his talks with Ferrari emerged in February, Horner\u2019s stance remains unaltered and the Brit remains focused on guiding his team to continued success in 2024 and beyond. Asked by Motorsport.com Italia whether he has ever considered leaving Red Bull, he replied: \u201cIt’s always very flattering to receive an offer or an expression of interest from a team, but my heart is here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been here since the beginning, I built the team and I feel a responsibility towards the people who make it up, the shareholders and all the partners we have. And finally, I don’t believe much in change, I think stability is tremendously important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Horner spoke previously about how he feels a sense of \u2018responsibility\u2019 at Red Bull and therefore jumping ship after guiding them through poor spells to now, whilst they are enjoying such an impressive stint at the top, would certainly raise eyebrows.<\/p>\n

Asked earlier this year whether he truly considered the offer from Ferrari, Horner said: \u201cTo be honest with you, no. I’ve been here since the very beginning, I feel very much, you know, responsible for the team.<\/p>\n
