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.

It’s ironic that he references the Sakkir GP,as that was the race that Max Verstappen drove into the barrier of his own accord.

wasnt that the race where max verstappen backed out & leclerc outbraked himself, ploughed into both verstappen & perez

So Horner thinks their car is shit then.

but i will agree that article is ridiculous. of course i understand horner has to say verstappen is best driver on the grid because he drives for Red Bull. but to say he clearly is the best driver on the grid. its such media BS even horner doesnt believe it.

verstappen is probably 2nd best just behind Hamilton. but it also says what a great job Russell did to get into a car & be on the pace straight away. i would have him on the same level as leclerc maybe Riccardo

At this point in time I'd say that the amount of time Max's evident talent gains is more than offset by the aero penalty caused by dragging his gigantic inflated ego around the circuit.

It wasn’t so long ago that Christian Horner was saying the same things about Sebastian Vettel.

I guess Horner does not want to reminded Verstappen was actually amateurish in Turkey when Red Bull was the best car but Hamilton still annihiliated everyoneby a mile . The car is blind as a

i will defend verstappen that was the mechanics fault, yes he was impatient in turn 11. changing from wets to inters they were going to change the wing. & i think they added 3 on 1 side & subtracted 3 on the other. he ended up with imbalanced car

Until Lance Stroll stole pole everything up to that point was going well for Verstappen. He just anxious knowing full well it was a race he should have won comfortably. It ended up being a big of a messy race for Red Bull and him

Is Horner really being serious with this?

I've never heard anyone whine as much as he does to the officials.

Christian Horner feels that Toto Wolff's "lobbying" of the stewards at the British Grand Prix was "unacceptable."

Pot kettle black comes to mind!

 

[cider_and_toast]

The saddest thing is that we'll never get to hear him answer the question "and what about your lobbying?"

 

[Johnny Carwash]

A total lack of self awareness on show there from Christian Horner .

Karen Horner.

I prefer whinger spice

Horner has now claimed that Hamilton deliberately held up both RB drivers in Q3 at Hungary.

He's doubling down on being a total arse.

He's doubling down on being a total arse.

i can see his point on this more than British gp & that it was very cheeky from Mercedes & if your paranoid i can see it

 

[sobriety]

I can well see RedBull trying to return the favour later in the season only for Hamilton and Bottas to breeze past, "gentleman's agreement?" "I don't see it in the rules?"
