Christian Horner Made Lunchtime Conversation With the Queen of England Regarding Red Bull’s Most Controversial F1 Race: “She Seemed to Show Great Interest”

The world mourns the loss of Her Highness Queen Elizabeth II. United Kingdom’s longest-serving monarch passed away yesterday after serving her country for about 7 decades. Formula 1 world also paid tributes to the Queen. The tributes came from F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, Red Bull boss Christian Horner, Toto Wolff, and many more.

In remembrance of the queen, we look back at the time she met Christian Horner at Buckingham Palace. The Red Bull boss explained in an old interview how he had to explain to Her Highness about the ‘Multi-21’ scenario.

Horner said, “I had been invited to a lunch hosted by The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, which I expected there to be about 200 people at. There turned out not be 10 of us there. This was at Buckingham Palace. It was just after the ‘Multi 21’ scenario.”

“I had this bizarre situation of having to deal with the drivers and then go to lunch with The Queen and Prince Philip and explain to her what ‘Multi 21’ was and why our Australian driver was particularly grumpy with our German driver.”

“I had that conversation over lunch with The Queen and she seemed to show great interest in it.”
