Christian Horner spent a happy two decades leading the mighty Red Bull Formula 1 team. This week, he officially parted ways with the outfit, in a settlement that is expected to be valued between $70million-$100million - not a bad parting gift for someone who helped orchestrate eight drivers' championships and six constructors' titles.
Overseeing the rise of one of the most successful teams the championship has seen since he took on the project in 2005, Horner has seen it all. From a record-breaking campaign in 2023 to the establishment of Red Bull Powertrains, all while maintaining and developing a successful junior driver programme that yielded the likes of Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel, it seems only apt that we celebrate some of the highs, while also addressing some of the lows, of his long career.
