Christian Horner makes Red Bull F1 debut

While he is normally used to managing drivers and running a race team, Christian Horner got the chance to experience an F1 car earlier this year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

22 January 2025

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner recently got behind the wheel of the RB8 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It marked the first outing Horner has ever had in a Red Bull F1 car despite leading the team since its inception in 2005. Horner was a racing driver in his younger days before he moved to team management. His outing at Goodwood came as a late decision as four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel was originally meant to join the team and drive the car. Other Red Bull cars were driven at the event by Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Daniel Ricciardo. See Horner's F1 debut for Red Bull below!
