Christian Horner

Christian Horner has transitioned from a racing driver to a highly successful motorsport executive, leading Red Bull Racing to multiple Formula One World Championships. After founding the Arden team in International Formula 3000 in 1997 and leading it to multiple championship victories, Christian Horner established himself as one of motorsport’s most accomplished executives. Horner’s racing career began with a Formula Renault scholarship win in 1991, followed by competition in the 1992 British Formula Renault Championship. In 1993, he finished second in the Class B British Formula Three Championship with five race wins.

This marked the beginning of a period of unprecedented dominance, with the team claiming four consecutive Constructors’ and Drivers’ titles from 2010 to 2013. For his services to motorsport, Horner was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2013. Red Bull Racing continued its championship-winning legacy under Horner, returning to sustained success with Max Verstappen, who secured four consecutive Drivers’ Championships from 2021 to 2024. The team added two more Constructors’ titles in 2022 and 2023, bringing the total under Horner’s tenure to six World Constructors’ Championships, eight World Drivers’ Championships, 124 Grand Prix victories, 287 podiums, and 107 pole positions across 21 seasons.

Recognized for his enduring impact, he was elevated to Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2024. Horner departed from Red Bull Racing on September 22, 2025, concluding a highly successful two-decade tenure with the team.
