  "account": "London, October 18 — Former Red Bull boss Christian Horner downplayed his ties to Ferrari during his speaking tour to promote his new book, Drive. The 52-year-old former team principal discussed his entire F1 career, from Red Bull's entry into the sport to his controversial exit following allegations of \"inappropriate behaviour\" in 2025. Horner, who was exonerated twice of controlling behavior charges by an independent King's Counsel, insisted he has no desire to return to F1. Despite recent reports linking him to Ferrari, Horner emphasized that he never saw it as his \"bloody dream\" job. He acknowledged his role in bringing design expert Adrian Newey to Red Bull, his relationships with world champions Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, and the changes within the team after Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz's death in 2022. Horner described his dismissal from Red Bull as \"brutal\" and stated that he is content with having lived \"a hell of a ride\" in Formula 1.",
