Horner, 52, who is on a speaking tour to help launch his autobiography "Drive: A Memoir", said he had spoken in a recent interview that "there’s an aura around Ferrari, it’s a privilege as a driver, an engineer etc. It is the dream of so many drivers" but added: "I never said it was my bloody dream!”

“But the story came out that Ferrari was my dream job. I felt sorry for Fred [Vasseur, Ferrari team principal] because suddenly he was under a lot of pressure.”
