'The lure of Ferrari for him at that time when we couldn’t offer a competitive car, it was understandable. It was sad but fully understandable...' F1
“We had so many special moments those four World Championships. There were days that he was just in a league of his own. What he’s achieved is quite outstanding and [I] just wish him all all the best for the future.”
Horner was also quizzed as to whether he thought Vettel’s decision to leave Red Bull for Ferrari was a mistake but the 48-year-old was not willing to say that. “Do you know what? At that time I don’t think it was,” the Red Bull boss said. “We weren’t in a competitive position at that time. Mercedes had a massive advantage, Ferrari looked like they were on the ascendancy. Renault didn’t look like they were gonna get themselves sorted out anytime soon.
“So no, we couldn’t compete with it. It was the right thing at that point in time for him. He had a desire to follow in the footsteps of Michael Schumacher. And you know, the lure of Ferrari for him at that time when we couldn’t offer a competitive car, it was understandable. It was sad but fully understandable.”
