Christian Horner

Who is Christian Horner? Is he what he appears, the extremely successful team principal of the best team in Formula One; a shrewd operator who has won everything and is the glue that holds the Red Bull team together.

Or is he just a yes-man, for Marko maybe, a brown-noser to Ecclestone and a surprisingly obnoxious front man for the energy drinks advertising budget.

Surely he's somewhere in between though, he must be more than an advertiser (you'd say EJ surely), but he clearly isn't calling all the shots. He's probably best characterised as F1's best young politician, not only winning the external war but managing several other big-shots and two drivers convinced by their own right to superior treatment.
 
I know he is. I'm sure Mercedes made the decision without CH's input. I am just amazed that anyone would believe that CH had anything to do with influencing Mercedes. I'm a Lewis fan.
 
I beg one thing of channel 4 and one thing only. Please forget any thought of saying "and lets go to the pit wall and hear from Christian Horner..." (Or words to that effect). After many years of the BBC treating Eddie and Christian as the only sources of all wisdom on the grid, enough is enough!!
 
I can take Eddie Jordan's view because as wild as some of the rumours are he usually somehow gets them right . Christian Horner either has to gloat and rub people's noses or moan throwing toys at his pram. I hope last season was a lesson for him and Red Bull in humility
