Christian Horner:
The Team Principal and CEO of Red Bull Racing began his motorsport career behind the wheel, working his way up to Formula 3000 before swapping the cockpit for a different driving seat - as the boss of his own team. Horner led Red Bull to its first Drivers’ and Constructors’ double in 2010, taking another three consecutive title doubles from 2011-2013. Though the team continued to win races, the arrival of hybrid power in F1 in 2014 marked the end of Red Bull Racing’s first period of dominance. However, Horner once again led the team back to championship glory in 2021, with Max Verstappen winning his first Drivers’ crown and the team’s ninth title. Horner now stands as Formula 1’s longest serving Team Principal.

Horner is one of them people that you'd hate to go against but love on your side, top class team principal.
the best team principal if we're being honest.
Steiner clear sadly
I dont agree with you @jackoff thomas media
Exactly

They should bring those students into drivers press conference. They are asking great questions unlike f1 reporters repeating same exact questions race by race.
Call them out whenever you see any F1 reporters being an idiot.
They won’t change unless we forced them to.
They should let Max headbutt reporters who ask repetitive questions.
Christian Horner, Red Bull team principle… How are you feeling? ;)
@@myoldreteacher How are you feeling, how was the chassis, how were the tyres?
Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us ‘take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car.’ Thirty years later, Sebastian told us ‘I had to start my car like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And Nico Rosberg said that during the race - I don’t remember what race - he pressed the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you both: is Formula One driving today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?
I think that Horner and wolf are more alike then they would ever admit, they’re both very driven, very good at leading a team and both out do absolutely everything to win
You realise that the whole rivalry is made up by drive to survive in real life they'll get along fine
@@anonymouswhite352 the rivalry is real, but its a healthy one not a hero vs villain one like in dts
No way
@@anonymouswhite352 It's not completely made up. Most of what they used was interview with both of them anyway, there's a natural competitive tension between them just as there is between drivers.
And both admit to being crap drivers hahaha
He runs one of the world's most prestigious top teams in the world holding 5 WDC in recent years and married a Spice girl. I'd say that's pretty successful.
Especially the married a spice girl part
prestigious?????
@@agatonsaax6498 will all due respect to his wife i don;t think that has anything to do with anything
@@drakekalivouri3697 Oh it does. It does indeed.
And left his ex wife just months after her giving birth to his child to be with the spice girl. Classy.
A lot of Red Bull's success has been credited to Newey and their funding and the drivers, but Horner has been a rather underrated yet key component in their success.
No one thinks of him as the youngest team principal. He's had to wrangle with much more experienced and powerful figures in F1, and he's done a rather decent job of it, with no hint of ever been 'green behind the ears' so to say.
A very articulate man with all his wits about him at all times, rare to see in these days where public personas seem to find a way to put their foot in it every other time they open their mouth.
True
Really, he didn't win anything for years with the dominance of Merc, he had the next biggest budget and team. Let's not forget, whilst last season RB did much better, they did get a huge amount of luck with Max inheriting the WDC via the race director (Horner choosing to ignore that fact) any other team principal would have been moved years ago. Unfortunately for Horner, he has without a doibt made much more of a name for himself for blowing hot air getting up people's noses, he's obviously bitter about the success of Merc with all them years of hurt, in the words of the well respected Sussie Wolf (Wife of Toto) refaring to Horner. “Sport is brutal. You need to be ruthless, competitive. But I don’t believe that to become successful you need to be an A**hole.” and that there is Horner in a nutshell in my view., he's happy to win at any cost ruining the integrity of the sport.
@@SLOPPY1001 Red Bull's budget has always been behind Mercedes and Ferrari, and crucially, they don't have an engine department. The main reason Red Bull fell behind after 2014 is that the Renault PU really sucks. Things only start to progress after 2019 when Honda joined.
And politics is just part of the sport. Mercedes won't dominate if they didn't know the V6 PU rules from FIA years before, and may not beat Ferrari in 2018 if Toto didn't pursuade FIA to change tyres mid-season (with 7 teams objecting). The only criteria is the result and Horner absolutely did a great job especially winning the 2021 WDC.
BTW, no other team has ruined the intergrity of F1 more than Mercedes. Just look at Canada with the FIA Technical Directive, it's very obvious that Mercedes "instructed" FIA to do what they prefer to be more competitive.
@@SLOPPY1001 I'd say Horner is a very successful team principle. The team has consistently been at the top of the sport for a decade and a bit now, something even the greats like Ferrari and McLaren aren't able to do. End of the each team principle has their own leadership style and Horner is the perfect fit for RB and their marketing style.
@@SLOPPY1001 A comment devoid of reality. Yes they were lucky to win last year in the end with what went down in AD, but in reality throughout the season they were very unlucky. In reality it was only close at the end because of their BAD luck and the good luck that went LH/Merc's way.
Horner has been one of the sports great team principles, who unlike Toto he has built title winning teams twice now, not just carried on the success laid down by someone else.
No one could beat Merc the previous seven years, that's not an indictment of Horner, but the reality of having such fixed regulations for so long that made it so hard to catch up. If we're criticising people for being A holes, then Horner and Toto should both be condemned, not one without the other, they're the same. If you think Horner should have been fired then that says a lot.
Everyone says Redbulls success is Adrian newey. However, what most people overlooks is that, u can always attract top talent by giving top money. But getting them to stay there and giving them the right environment to thrive is where leadership comes in to picture. With Christian, it is quiet evident qith the way he runs a tight ship and motivates a hugely talented team. Kudos
Adrian Newey could have gone to Ferrari and gets bigger pay cheques but he chose to stay with Red Bull.
its not just adrian obviously, The team has great financial backing from Redbull and Dietrich Mateschitz
The only people who’re saying that are frustrated lulu fans.
@@tonamg53 from what i understand, newey prefer to get a job in uk than italy.

Nice to see appreciations from UK…in the end of the day Christian Horner is a British and excellent success and representation for the UK
Close to an hour of just 1 man answering questions. But boy, was I glued on! Great questions from everybody, and Christian! What a guy. The depth and volume of knowledge he carries and the clarity with which he presents it it just so so good! Brilliant stuff!
I’m a Mercedes fan but I like Christian. I think he’s the most well-rounded Team Principal on the grid at the moment.
You must be the only one. All the merc fans I see absolutely hate Horner.
@@wardy940 both himself and Toto put the most effort in to speak with journalists and share their experiences, so I like him for that reason.
@@wardy940 Which funny, because Toto and Christian are the same person.
@@myka4337 is this another conspiracy like the alex jones is actually bill hicks theory?
@@myka4337 Eh, Christian still employs Helmut and runs an extremely toxic team, thats all that holds me back from liking him, if he gives new drivers a bit more than half a season, and gets rid of the guy who finds a way to take a dig at Lewis for everything, then I'll like him
I might dislike RBR to some degree but I have full respect to Christian. A top level team principal and an absolute piranha of a character.
@RoboClips in what way?
Are you fucking dreaming? Sure Toto has his moments, but theres a reason Karen Horner exists?
Why , only because Max Verstappen is much more talented than Lewis Hamilton ever was or will be?
@MelonMan they make a drink, that's it. The rest is copied
@@Taz1451 “that’s it” 💀
Christian Horner is the epitome of entrepreneurship, hard work, determination and competitiveness! He is the ultimate ceo and competitor! Huge fan!
He’s the epitome of rich parents and connections get you places
@@justinwalpole8956 his rich parents and connections made him successful? Look at lance stroll or frank williams daughter.
@@justinwalpole8956 imagine being this fkn salty the guy worked hard to get where he is now and where he has led the team is amazing
@@3BGamersHD every year redbull won they done with the largest budget of any team apart from last year. However, last year the regulations where literally designed to disadvantage Mercedes.
@@justinwalpole8956 they weren’t though. Everyone lost car performance due to the new regs in 2021. Pirelli had requested them to come into play since the downforce was causing excessive loading on the tyres which would have meant more tyre failures would have been likely if the trend continued. Red Bull didn’t win because they had more money. Ferrari, McLaren between 2010 and 2012 and Mercedes have had similar budgets to work with
How can anybody not love Christian Horner ? Even as a MercedesAMG fan, I am always impressed by his comprehension of the sport.
If he doesn't spend his time fabricating rivalries, AND saying things like "Toto already inherited something so well-oiled", then I have nothing against him.
@@darkspeinwarrior it’s called mind games he plays with other people
@@darkspeinwarrior He's not there to make friends. He's there to win.
"Toto already inherited something so well-oiled" is a simple statement of fact. Wolff didn't build Mercedes, he came on at the right time. He was instrumental in signing Hamilton, though, I'll give him credit for that.
@@vandalsgarage Last I remember, Mercedes wasn't doing so well before 2014.

As a Red Bull fan we are lucky we have a team boss such as Christian. I always trust he will do the best for the team.
This has been an inspiring talk from Christian Horner.
Horner is a very wise man and has a great leadership and so honest!
Enjoyed this video. Have always looked up to Christian as a good example of a leader. Particularly as an individual that also did not want to go via the University route but ended up in a leadership role, albeit in the real world and not the motorsport world.
Christian Horner always a gem 💎. Thanks for doing this talk. It was absolutely great 👌
I just came across this today.
Absolutely loved this interview. Christian was as honest as he could be and I'm grateful for that, normally they are fairly restricted and bound by PR when giving answers to questions in various interviews.
Being a Lewis Hamilton fan and my bias in place I still did appreciate his answer on the Abhu Dhabi finale question.
Thank you, I hope you have Toto Wolff up next : )
I had been looking for this video for awhile and quite frankly it did meet every expectation I had out of it. Christian Horner is without a doubt the best team principal out there in F1. What a remarkable way to handle pressure and keep his team moving forward! Bravo !
Thanks for a really interesting interview.
Glad you enjoyed it!
9:33 Latifi confirmed as a Racing God.
What a great set up for the interview. And great interview with Christian Horner.
Christian Horner is best Team principal ever I witnessed. He not only support drivers but managing operations and bring whole team effort’s together which helps redbull to win championships.
What an interview, such an interesting talk.
Great sharing and thanks for uploading the entire session!
Thanks for listening
As a Ferrari fan, I appreciate Horner more than any other team principal. Wolf be at the lower point.
thx for this interview 🙏
Thank you for watching!
An excellent interview with very good questions and answers all round.
Well done.
Christian Horner on CU is not what I expected to see opening YT. Awesome!
'You learn more from a race you lose than from one you win' - well said Christian !
Massive respect voor Christian Horner and all he’s achieved with Red Bull, I think that’s so impressive. I also quite enjoy his little digs along the way, very naughty.
Love Christian, great leader.
I’m not a fan of RBR but because his drivers have not been my choice to win, but massive massive respect to him and his team for all they do and have done.
I can see him running F1, 1 day.
Why , only because Max Verstappen is much more talented than Lewis Hamilton ever was or will be?
What a fantastic interview. Candid, informative, fun. Hope to be a corporate leader in my own career of his caliber some day, great content.
I gave you a like because all other comments have and yours doesn't
After watching the Netflix Formula One Series Drive to Survive which was brilliant, it was clear that Christian is the consummate professional, down to earth, well grounded, honest with his team, a true competitor and most of all, a manager of people to help them fulfil their dreams and achievements....I cant speak more highly of him.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for watching!
Great chat. Thank you for hosting this.
Our pleasure!
Just a great bloke 👍🏼
Very eloquent speaker Mr Horner ..
I’m a Red Bull, Seb and Max fan as a disclaimer, and it takes quite a mind and outside the box thinking to formulate what is now the most powerful duo on the 2022 grid. For a team that goes by the Formula of producing young talent, to reach outside their organization for temperance and wisdom to match the fiercest of drivers in young Max was a master stroke. Both in terms of interpersonal chemistry and domination, they have no equal, and Christian was the driving force behind that.
Mercedes Constructor domination since 2014 shall end in 2022, and that’s good for F1…it’s good for the sport. While the UK was celebrating what was a domination for THEM, (and controlling the F1 message and narrative through the English language media dominance) with what another country felt was a British sell-out team, F1 was losing fans and interest across the world (and in what should have been that teams’ country) and becoming less global and stagnating. The purchase of F1 by Liberty, while unpopular in Britain, was the best thing that ever happened to F1…it saved them (and the UK) from themselves. As a Canadian observing the sport for 15 years, the propaganda onslaught placed on non-british drivers was obvious and at times cruel….the British fans could also be cruel, crueler than the rest. Alonso says the same thing every year and he isn’t wrong, and I still remember when Seb won his 4th title and the two commentators treated it like a funeral across what you describe as regional but what is the English language international audience, while the paddock and stands cheered, and when Seb went to hug Christian and Newey, Brundle said in a very petty and surly voice, ‘that there is the most important person in F1 and it’s not one with the blonde hair’ (meaning Newey, with the implication being clear that Seb only won due to the car)…fast forward a few years and the same duo and the British media are downright fawning and bowing before a similar situation and I cannot imagine hearing Brundle say something similar when Lewis went to hug his engineers ‘and it’s not the one with the black hair’…imagine him saying something like that to anyone who was British. It’s disgusting how Seb, how Nico, how countless others are and were treated by a media who is the unapologetic dominant force behind the F1 message…and if they’re not careful, Liberty will take that away and make them a regional media, like back in the 1950s. Liberty is listening to drivers like Alonso and Vettel and Rosberg who speak of their mistreatment by both the British media and British fans….and they have the power to change that.
I see the same actors working hard now to do the same treatment to Max but I can see them trying hard to ‘act’ neutral and be more subtle because they are picking up on the change in the weather as well. It’s not hard to feel.
Very short opinion.
Mercedes will be back not this year maybe not even next year but be sure they'll be back soon
@@edenbh3609 Red Bull and Mercedes, at least right now, seem like the only two teams that can truly bounce back from anything. Maybe it takes half a decade or more, but they have the personnel and ability to do it. I'd put Ferrari up there, we've almost seen them bounce back multiple times in the 2010s, but they're missing that "it factor" so I can't put them on the same level of those two.
@@myka4337 Ferrari are stuck with their old ways which seems more and more like it's hindering their progress.
Facilities in Italy hiring only Italian personal
Not playing in the same hiring pool that Mercedes and redbull are in ,in the British market where Motorsport is happening.
@@project182r3 its essentially just crapping on Merc and Britain, blaming British media for all this bias, and not caring about their own biases or the fact that some people are fans of a team they aren't
@@richardhobbs7360 He's right though. Ths british media is super offensive to non-british drivers and favor the ones from the UK. Merc was favored and you can't argue about that, it's a fact. All the british fans are super toxic as seen after Abu Dhabi and if they lose an argument they say some nonsence because they aren't capeable of losing.
Fantastic interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good interview, smart guy as always
I love how Christian still throwing shade on Renault for their engine after all these years
I really didn’t think very much of Christian Horner prior to watching this interview. However, my opinion of him has completely changed after listening to him here. I felt that he was very balanced and open in his responses and I found his answers both informative and interesting. I shall watch F1 with a different perspective from now on.
Let's remember this is the man that made redbull possible. In less than 20 years they won 5 championship'. He created two absolute monsters: Vettel and Verstappen. They broke mercedes dominance. after they fell back in 2014 they caught up from scratch and got to the top again.
Surely one of the highlights of the last 15 years of f1.
5th most successful F1 team in terms of race wins, 6th most successful in winning WDC and WCC
All since 2005.
🌟 Amazing The Best 🌟🕊️
9:38 guys, it's official. Latifi is a GOD, not just the 🐐
The best boss on the grid. A racing not a corporate background.
I really enjoyed that, I was not keen on him at the beginning but since Max is there ,I do understand why he signed a super long contract with Red Bull. Horner is a very good speaker.
Enjoyable to watch. Very grounded principal in contradiction to some other principals.
His best comment: 56:08 while having a pokerface...
Bold call by Helmut and Dietrich to hand RB to this young guy with zero experience in F1. What a hire.
Great Job !!! Congrats
Thank you!
Looking forward to Silverstone this weekend.
Steiner still my favourite, but Horner is clearly the best team principal by a a long way, a true leader.
great talk. love the guy
I love Horner so much!!!!
What a beautiful man.
Looking at the level of success Red Bull Racing has had over the years and is still having Christian Horner is a pretty great team principal. Not only that! I've always found him an honest and likeable, nice guy.
This in stark contrast to Toto Wolff of Mercedes who doesn't shun dirty tricks, lies and doesn't mind ruiining other people if necessary to reach one of his goals.
All team principals are like Wolff. Horner isn't all above board and you could see it in the title fight last year.
I've found Horner to be arrogant, insufferable ans shoves it down everyone's throats when he achieves great success, in contrast to the people at Mercedes for example who have always been humble.
That being said, Christian absolutely deserves the success he has achieved and he is agl great asset to both Red Bull and Formula One. Big respect for him.
now this is british bias. Toto with his 7 WDC and 8 Constructors wins is a class act and the dirtiest team principle on the grid is horner
@@empress_alex Humble? You mean the “we don’t make mistakes” Mercedes?
@@movo721 That comment had nothing to do with being humble. That's showmanship and every driver and every team does it.
Man woke up and chose being wrong. Horner is a great team principal and he’s brought great success to Red Bull. But he has always been the one moaning and crying for the past 8 years and calling themselves the underdogs and as soon as they were competitive, he started throwing shade at EVERYBODY.
Great talk
The racing Gods = Nicolas "Goatiffi" Latiffi
33:37 Mercedes man
I didn't know the story of how he took Vettel and Weber to a children's Hospital to give them some perspective on life.
Very good people management (after Malaysia I'm sure)
Over the years we’ve been blessed with some amazing athletes. What makes them great is not just abilities, it’s their character and attitudes. They are the GOAT’s because they love and respect their field.
Ayrton Senna, Muhammad Ali, Serena Williams, Mike Tyson, Babe Ruth, Biles etc, all GOAT’s
What’s rare (in my opinion) are legends who are sports managers or coaches. We’ve had, Cus, Ferguson, Jackson, Joyce etc. GOAT’s
You are witnessing a legend and GOAT who will be spoken about and referenced for many many years. Christian Horner has done so much for the F1, RedBull and especially Max who Christian often makes faux pas and refers to him as a friend or family member.
When I hear him talk about the racing gods I have a little chuckle because they were looking out for him years ago and introduced him to Marko.
I bet that trailer was one of the best investments he ever made.
Did you just make a GOAT list with Biles? 😂😂😂
Here’s your 100 social credit points. Very woke.
@@MalleusIudaeorum Yeah, he just made a list with two drug addicts: Biles and Williams. He missed maradona and lance armstrong on that list.

As much as Adrian Newey along with Sebastian Vettel and now Max Verstappen are super critical to Red Bull’s success in relative eras. Christian Horner has been the massive backbone of that team.
That guy in Merc T-shirt 😃priceless. Next time will he ask Sir Alex Ferguson in a Man City outfit?
That was really a nice interaction with horner. I'm a Mercedes guy but respect to horner.
What kind of chair is that? My grandma used to have the exact same one
Great interview. Very much a Lewis fan and I’ve been critical of Christian in the past (especially last season). However, he comes across extremely well here. Glad to see him in a different light.
RBR is dwarfed by the resources of mighty Ferrari and Mercedes and yet under Christian’s leadership he’s managed to beat them.
33:45 Nice little fun dig at Toto.
I feel that anyone who loves to hate on Horner doesn't realise just how good he is at what he does.
Wish he would do a book or masterclass on technical leadership and engineering management
The success of Red Bull has to go to him in a large part… he’s pulled it all together. That is seriously unique.. to be fair Toto has also done the same but both had huge financial backing. However, the side to his personality came through last year which makes him seem like a real whiner and quite manipulative.
Toto was even more manipulative last season imo, trying to persuade Masi to not have the safety car interfere with the race when Kimi retired etc.
@@ObviouslyKieran you’ll have to remind me of that race and the circumstances. Horner openly says he uses his inner Karen as a tactic (although didn’t use those words 😂). He wants to use everything possible to get things to go in his favour, or to unsettle the opponent. Can’t argue that it wasn’t effective because it effectively won Max the World Title. Were it not for the badgering of Masi during those very stressful safety car minutes he probably wouldn’t have got the unique interpretation of the rules. The point is though, you have to admire his determination to win… he’s built that team… he relentlessly pushes to win and had the skills to pursuade Adrian Newey to join the team.. without him I’m sure they wouldn’t have had so much success.
Max hardly was part of the RB academy Dr Marko once said in that regard Max was the cheapest
Christian Horner is from my home town 😂 I love him on drive to survive, obviously not as much as I love Guenther
The man has wits. I love it.
"Recruiting the right people...." from Mercedes.
That engine was build before the poached engineers from mercedes btw.
and other teams.......... they all do that btw......
Best team principle in F1
This video has got more views than any of your recent videos....
Next please invite Gunther Steiner 🤣
The guy will probably give a 20m speech about how he felt when Kevin fok smashed his door 😂
If it wasn’t for horners blue blazer, white shirt and skin. He would of been in perfect camouflage. I bet the crowd were thinking where’s Geri? Lol
If you question ANYTHING Christian Horner's said just remember: he goes to bed with Ginger Spice every night and you're not. I'd say he's got life worked out.
Legend
24:50 Introducing the idea of Kardashians on wheels is why I will never watch the cheesy Drive to Survive show. Excellent interview and very well conducted, the only people not liking this probably have a strong allegiance to a competitor.
Michael Fassbender/ Porsche's Road To Le Mans is a perfect example of how to do a docuseries just right, without all the edited soap opera nonsense.
@@geetuz Yes, I have watch a few of those and agree 100%.
This man is the only reason I have respect/love for red bull
Who else though Christian was telling his Checo story again when they saw the thumbnail for this video?
What Checo story?
He was also Team Principal when his driver Bjorn Wirdheim stopped to celebrate with the team...before the Finish line at the Monaco GP circuit
Not meant as a criticism of Horner obviously, he's been amazing at Red Bull. Just can't forget it.
czcams.com/video/t90y6ikbCR8/video.html
Now even Christian is telling the infamous cramp story! 😹
Nice interview
He's hated because he's great at his job. Absolutely clear of Toto
Top principal although in reality he isn’t clear as Toto owns 1/3 of his team.
Could have loved to ask him how good is Adrian Red Bull Aero dynamics expart
Isn’t it amazing to find he has been extremely successful without ever having been to University and he is also married to a woman who is extremely successful without ever being to university?
He’s married to a cheap slapper
Very nice talk - as expected from Red Bull :)
