Horner not worried that Ferrari bosses run F1
Oct.1 - Christian Horner says he is not worried that so many former Ferrari chiefs are now running Formula 1.
The Maranello outfit is the only one in pitlane with the power to veto incoming rules.
And now it is notable that F1's top officials are Jean Todt as FIA president, Ross Brawn as sporting director, and from 2021 Stefano Domenicali as CEO.
All three figures were central to Ferrari's ultra-successful Michael Schumacher era, but Red Bull team boss Horner insists he is not worried.
"Obviously you look at the make-up at the top end of the sport and it looks like a mid-1990s or early-2000s Formula 1 setup," he acknowledged.
"But I don't think that there's any particular bias or love towards Ferrari from any of those individuals. I'm sure Stefano will be scrupulous in his impartiality."
Indeed, the news that former Ferrari boss Domenicali will replace Chase Carey from January 1 next year was widely welcomed last weekend at Sochi.
"I think it's great for the sport," Horner continued. "He's one of the good guys.
"Having competed against him when he was the team principal of Ferrari, I can say he has a lot of integrity. He was a racer, a competitor, he understands the business.
"Obviously he's spent life in a commercial world outside of Formula 1 for the last few years, he's done a great job at Lamborghini and I think that he will be a real asset to Formula 1."

Only time will tell but ex Ferrari men in the top jobs of f1 a little suspect to say the least
Jean Todt the boss of cheating should be arrested.
tom walkinshaw, flavio briatore, ross brawn, jean todt, max mosley & michael schumacher will all be remembered as the bastards who condoned, allowed and legalised cheating in F1.
They should have all been put on trial, sentenced to death and executed.
tom walkinshaw has passed away years ago so he got away with it the easy way but all the rest of the them should be tortured to feel real pain like the rest of us who had to put up with their selfish antics.
F1 was the greatest sport in the world until these filthy bastards arrived on the scene and made it a horrible corruptible game. before it was max mosley and now jean todt running F1, max turned a blind eye to the cheating when jean todt was in charge of ferrari and now he is in charge, this is utter bullshit.
