Ralf Schumacher criticises Christian Horner’s Ferrari message and backs Andreas Seidl

Ralf Schumacher has strongly criticized Christian Horner for publicly discussing a potential move to Ferrari, labeling the approach embarrassing. Horner recently suggested he would consider managing Ferrari without requiring an ownership stake. Speaking to Sky Sports Germany, Schumacher argued that someone with a genuine offer from Maranello would not campaign so openly in public, while Ferrari continues to publicly back current team principal Fred Vasseur.

Schumacher instead endorsed former McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl as a credible alternative if Ferrari decides to replace Vasseur. He argued that Seidl has the character needed to handle the pressure at Ferrari and manage the intra-team rivalry between drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, following incidents like their collision at the Italian Grand Prix.
