Christian Horner Career
Christian Horner Red Bull
Christian’s path to the top rung of the Formula One management ladder began behind the wheel, as a talented young racer.
Christian’s achievements caught the attention of Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz, and when the Austrian company took the radically different step of setting up its own Formula One team for the 2005 season, it turned to Horner to run the operation.
Horner began to assemble a team capable of challenging for major honors, cherry-picking talent from within the F1 paddock and facilitating the career progression of recruits from outside F1 and of those just starting on the Motorsport ladder.
The recruitment of Adrian Newey as Chief Technical Officer at the end of the 2006 season was the most obvious coup, but the policy of placing the right people in the right positions was applied across the team, and by the start of the 2009 campaign the Team was ideally placed to make a serious challenge.
The team took its first win, at the Chinese Grand Prix in 2009. From there the floodgates opened. Six wins and second place overall in the Constructors’ Championship in 2009 increased to nine victories and Team and Drivers’ title winners in 2010.
The 2014 season yielded three wins and nine other podium finishes as the team battled hard to preserve momentum but the following season proved to be a low point, with the RB12 scoring just three podium finishes across a difficult campaign.
It was clear that the team needed fresh impetus and this time it came in the shape of the inspired decision to vault a spectacularly talented young racer to a seat alongside proven race winner Daniel Ricciardo.
Max Verstappen’s impact was immediate, with the Dutch teenager scoring a remarkable win on his debut with the team at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix. The mix of focused continuity and fresh blood worked to boost the team back to front-running status and the team ended the season as Constructors’ Championship runners up, taking 16 podium finishes and two wins.
New rules for the 2017 season presented an opportunity for a reset similar to the one the Team exploited in 2009, but with power units still a key factor in defining the pecking.
