Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has revealed some insight into the kinds of personalities that used to dominate F1 when he first arrived in the paddock.
Horner became F1’s youngest team principal when he started at Red Bull in 2005 during the team’s debut season and he has dealt with some very different characters over his time in the sport.
While Netflix’s Drive to Survive documentary has focused heavily on his heated rivalry with Mercedes counterpart Toto Wolff in recent seasons, Horner has noticed a shift in the type of characters in F1 now.“When I first came into the sport, there was Ron Dennis, there was Flavio Briatore, there was Eddie Jordan, there was Jean Todt, Bernie Ecclestone running it, Max Mosley there, Frank Williams,” Horner told“They were all massive characters.
“Bernie would carve up the room! He’d have everything brought up with Max before the meeting had even started.“Jean Todt would be ruthless in his protection of all things Ferrari, totally uncompromising. They were all huge characters and personalities.”
