Red Bull’s team principal feels that last week’s French Grand Prix was one of the most boring he has ever been involved in
Simple, straight answers are often rare in Formula One, so the honest and the heartfelt stand out immediately. As the Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, considers another home grand prix in Austria where his drivers will again face a possible bludgeoning from Mercedes, his passion for the sport is unmistakable. The desire to win remains a driving force, as is his emotional attachment to F1, which Horner believes now more than ever desperately needs to make a success of its reinvention in 2021.
He has ridden the rollercoaster with Red Bull since 2005, when they entered the sport. He built the team into the all-conquering force that took four drivers’ and constructors’ championship doubles with Sebastian Vettel between 2010 and 2013. It was some journey for the man who had persuaded his parents that he should put off going to university to pursue a career in racing, then switched to running his own team before Red Bull brought him into F1.
