Red Bull Racing – Team Prinicipal

In 2005, Horner was appointed by Red Bull and became the youngest team principal at the time, his first year was a success and the team earned 34 points in the championships, this was a huge improvement on the 9 points they scored in the previous year.

The teams first podium position was earned in 2006 at the Monaco Grand Prix, this was a fantastic achievement from the team, and in particular Christian Horner.
Red Bull finished second in the 2009 Constructors’ Championships thanks to superstars, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel finishing second and fourth in the title race.

One year later and Red Bull achieved what they had set out to do from the start, they won the Constructors’ Championship and their driver, Sebastian Vettel won the drivers title.

This made Horner the youngest team principal to ever win a Constructors’ Championship and was a monumental achievement, one that will go down in Formula One history.

The team have gone from strength to strength and in 2013, Red Bull won their fourth consecutive Constructors’ Championship and Vettel his fourth Driver’s title. In 2021 Christian won another Drivers title during one of the most tightly contested formula one seasons in history.

Horner’s success within the Red Bull team has been phenomenal and he’s had a vital role in turning Red Bull into one of the strongest Formula 1 teams in history.

As a motorsports speaker, Horner often reflects on his successes within Formula 1 as well as discussing topics like the importance of teamwork and leadership, maximising success and handling pressure.
