“The Greatest Team Principal in the History of Formula 1”: F1 Fraternity Showers Birthday Wishes as Red Bull’s Mastermind, Christian Horner, Turns 49

It’s been a tough couple of days for Red Bull boss Christian Horner. The Brazilian GP was one of the rare occurrences which arguably brought out the worst of the Austrian team. They’ve been dominant and untouchable throughout the season. However, one misstep by their star driver might hamper their future goals and ambition.

However, Christian Horner won’t be thinking about the same today, at least we hope. The Red Bull boss celebrates his 49th birthday today. Several wishes poured in for him with his team and wife sharing a lovely post on Instagram.

Horner’s career in car racing began when he first won a Formula Renault scholarship in 1991. However, his successful stint as a manager only came to fruition after the Briton accepted his faith and knew he was a better manager.

He became the youngest ever team principal when he was assigned the job at just 31 in 2005. 17 years after first taking in-charge, Horner has now revolutionized Red Bull, making them one of the most successful teams on the grid. He has given the platform to 2 world champions, Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel, and has won the constructor’s title 5 times.

Geri Halliwell took to her Instagram to wish her husband on his birthday. She captioned her post, “Happy birthday to my amazing husband @christianhorner. You’re inspiring, such a kind person. A wonderful daddy. And very funny 😄 . I love you.”
