  "account": "Former Red Bull boss Christian Horner has reiterated that Ferrari is not his dream job, despite recent allegations to the contrary. Horner, 52, who is currently promoting his autobiography \"Drive: A Memoir,\" clarified that he never claimed Ferrari was his ultimate career goal. During the book launch, Horner reviewed his entire F1 career, from Red Bull's inception to his controversial exit from the team in 2025. When asked about his future, Horner expressed uncertainty, stating that he is content with the ride he has had so far and that if a new opportunity arises, he would consider returning to F1. The allegations of \"inappropriate behavior\" leveled against Horner during his tenure at Red Bull have been discussed during the book launch, but no direct questions about the matter were posed during the Q&A session. Throughout his career, Horner was instrumental in attracting design expert Adrian Newey to Red Bull, fostering strong relationships with world champions Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, and leading the team's evolution following the passing of co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz in 2022. The sacking of Horner from Red Bull came shortly after the British Grand Prix, described by Horner as \"brutal.\" Red Bull is now employing their own powertrain for the first time this season, the result of a five-year project initiated in 2021, which Horner oversaw until his departure. Verstappen secured victories in Malaysia and Singapore, marking the first successes of this project. Horner expressed pride in witnessing the engine's successful implementation and performance.",
