  "account": "Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has accused Christian Horner of being a distraction for the team, following the British Grand Prix. Horner, who was dismissed as Red Bull team principal in July 2025, had expressed his desire to work for Ferrari in an interview with the Times this week. Vasseur stated that while Horner is a dream team for him, it has become a frustrating situation for the entire team, media and staff. Ferrari entered the season hoping to be title contenders, but their lack of power, especially on long straights, has been exposed in races like Baku. Vasseur acknowledged that they are fighting for third place in the championship, and Horner's constant questions are the best discussion they can have. However, he emphasized that it's not in his hands and that he will continue to push the team until the end.",
