At home with Christian Horner | Martin Brundle discusses all things Red Bull with Horner 

BS

No! the greatest team principal is Mattia Binotto 😂

True...

@@rohullah5829 be as mad as you want it’s true

Up there with brawn and depending on how long he sticks around he might win more than anyone

Why it was 'surprisingly'?

RIP Benny Harvey, miss ya big man. Gone but not forgotten.

He bagged Ginger Spice so he’s got to have some charm.

Sure you did, I've seen this comment about 100 times from different people.

@Dacia Sandero guys I thought having a dog called Flav which is "overweight" made me laugh within 2 minutes of the start of the piece.....

Yeah exactly! 🙂

Every team principle protects their team, it's literally their team and his job.

You just described his job.

@@realdevbro447 Yes but not all TP does the job the way he does.

@@CinHalCedHerChance Yes but not all TP does the job the way he does.

He's definitely a big part. But let's be honest, it helps when you have Mateschitz' money, the Jaguar infrastructure as a basis and Newey as a designer.

@@djoetma Actually Horner said that the Jaguar structure was pretty bad. Different departments would play political games just to make each other look bad. Red Bull had done a major overhaul.

@@djoetma jaguar was a shambles and Horner was the man who convinced newey to join so

@@djoetma mate jaguar was worst than williams by a long shot, mateschitz money doesnt even compare to how much mercedes/ferrari/renault have. Imagine beating teams who are global car manufacturers with decades of racing pedigree, theyre a freakin energy drink company.

@@TORTLESSS The name of a team doesn't mean that much, look at Mercedes who are no where near the top they where from last year, or a Ferrari team that srews up big time. It is not thebrand name, it is the people that makes the difference. You can be a big team like Ferrari but without the right people for the right jobs Ferrari menasn notihng. Be honest, without those big failures at the Ferrari team RB/Max wouldn't be leading so comfortably, or at least not with so many points ahead. Red Bull, even if it is an energydrink manufacturer, they hired the highest qualified people they can afford. Besides, you should seperate the RB energydrink part form the F1 Racing Team, they are two different worlds.

Bundle an asset? No, he isn't, he is nothing more than Sky's reporter/pundit out of the stable of Rupert Murdoch. Those guys who hacked phones to get a story, news of the world?

Brundle is a tosser. Goes well with interviewing Horner I guess as he is as well. Both have sold themselves to forget which country they were born in.

Wormtongue indeed fiits well at Sky.

@@bjrnchrstn LOL, that's true love 😂

Absolutely!! Straight to the point and no grandstanding!!

Lol. Honest?

@@joshn1678 Yeah. He's scheming, but he's honest about it.

Because he’s a fighter, his propaganda leads him to not being honest. I understand why he does it but honest, he is not.

Honest???

The most dishonest and really good at packaging it as an open story.

and his goats

And his horses

and his rabbits

And his Spice Girl songs.

@@TheJester12 yep "the GOAT" have many meanings 😁

only the merc fanboys or girls hate this Gentleman... but again they HATE everyone apart from Merc and people related to Merc. Now watch the replies am going to get...😆

@@shahbazkk86 I suspect its to do with the bad feeling between him and Toto

Everyone I know loves him, but then again I’m not in the UK (US, Colorado to be precise)…just saying, there’s a huge world outside the UK and the drama isn’t there when it comes to Christian.

It’s only sky f1 and the merc fanboys that hate on him. Everybody else thinks he’s great for the sport

He’s a great team principal in my eyes, he managed a team that dominated the early 2010’s and could be at start of a similar period again. He does have some moments however (like him saying the women only watch f1 for the good looking drivers) which can come off ignorant. Overall I do like him, helmut is the geezer I don’t like in rb camp.

I'm sure his ex-partner would contend that assertion.

@@robinmcewen3286 I’m sure anyones former partner would disagree what’s your point

Why are you obsessed with him? Kinda weird man.

@@boobrancher My comment proves I'm so obsessed with Horner, that I have a picture of Totto Wolf on my profile picture with username "fat cheeks"

@@boobrancher I was never obsessed with him, When I wrote he's my favorite team principal, I never had a favorite team principal until I wrote this down, and Red Bull is not even my favorite team. I like Alonso and Ferrari. But looking at Horner over the years through his interviews and especially this sit down with Martin, he seems like an honest and straight forward guy

Mattia Binotto ehm ehm

Martin also hits him with phenomenal question

its funny because the fans are so polarised whereas the fraternity amoung f1 is so united. as a general fan of the whole sport and not a hard core fan of any one particular driver, its a brilliant time for f1 but if you're a lewis or seb or charles or max fan then theirs bound to be some doubts about the state of f1 fandom.

Toto: they are so much faster than us.

I love Horner and Steiner. I wish we still had Cyril around.

Why did you leave, where do you work now still in F1?

What were u working as???if ur ok to tell us

Why would you ever leave your F1 job at RedBull? That's probably a dream job for most people

@@c.d.c9425 it’s a ton of work and your time away from home, family, friends and life in general, is far greater then what most humans need and expect. Now yes working for RBR would be a dream, but ultimately you basically dedicate your life and depending on what you do within the team, if you’re traveling with the team, you have to think of how much you’re traveling and working and basically not home. That all wears on you and eventually it becomes a bit much. Many who have done it and since left, simply say they were missing their life, it’s nothing to do with the sport or team, just simply, they’ve served their time and seen everything they want to see, it’s time to move on and let someone else have that experience.

@@HughJarse69 wtf

Yeah. He’s a great talker

It's just Merc fanboys. Anybody with an ounce of F1 knowledge knows Christian Horner is a tier and a half above every other current team principal's including Totto.

Well said!

Horner has rebuilt Redbull to a championship team more than once .that truly shows how capable he is. Toto Inherited a good merc team and made sure fia changed rules to their favour every time. engine freeze porpoiseing etc. And he's done it again . Toto wants the easy option and would rather pay or bribe for rewards.

@@edwinbenny2483 Horner couldn't race so he had to be a cheating team principal. Anyone thinking otherwise is deluded

@@edwinbenny2483 Horner built an energy drinks customer team from the ground up to dominate F1 then put a halt to the Mercedes dominance in the hybrid era.. recruiting and retaining some of the best minds and operators in the sport. Guy is a total machine one of the greatest principles ever imo and still got plenty of time left to add to it.

Exactly. Even when they weren't winning championships (2014-2019) they still performed like a championship winning team.

Pretty sure the best team principle (Wolff) is the chap that won the last 8 WCC’s on the trot…

Mattia Sbinotto is the best team principal

Christian n toto best team principal....

@@jackw9920 you mean the guy who inherited a team with a dominant car already designed and then slowly managed to lose the huge advantage Merc had over their rivals with that said car?

He is as accomplished and knowledgeable in his field as Christian is in his, he enjoys well-deserved respect from almost everyone in the F1 circus. I do love that his son Alex is following dad in his footsteps.

great questions by martin, great answers by christian

1 championship in 10+ years, and only because of the FIA director making a mistake. Wouldn't say that's great. He got a great driver, and Honda built them an amazing engine.

@@joshn1678 Did Toto make the Mercedes’ engine and drive their car for the last few years? 😂

@@joshn1678 He got his team 4 consecutive double titles. And he ended the dominant run of Mercedes.

@@joshn1678 The FIA made a mistake with that V6 Hybrid Turbo engine in 2014. The engine wich Mercedes was way ahead with compared to other manufacturers. And had already many years of developing. That stopped Redbull being dominant. Nothing to do with Horner, he's a good team principal.

Hate em or love em, can’t deny they are 100% committed to their team/ drivers

Hard work can sometimes pay but many times it doesn't. There are many people in the world that work their hands to the bone and barely see more than a dime for it. Fortune is hard work + luck.

@@a_single_white_female A very true reflection.

Lol i laugh when people say it was undeserved after abu dhabi… baring in mind max spent the entire year fighting the fia and mercedes.. merc won the CC and Bottas beat Perez.. max lead more laps than everyone else combined, including mr rainbow.

@@erpaderpa4469 All true, yet with one race to go they were equal on points, and had the rules been observed properly Mr Rainbow would have won the race and the championship. Still, looks like Max will win it properly this year, and I'm sure that, deep down in the places he doesn't talk about at parties, he knows he was gifted the 21 title, and he senses it's tainted, and he wants a clean one, one with no question mark against it, and on the evidence so far he'll fully deserve it this year.

You may be correct, but Sir Lewis Hamilton or 'Mr Rainbow' as you call him outdrove Max for the last 4 races. If it wasn't for Masi breaking rules then he wouldn't be a world champion. Ultimately he may have deserved the championship over the course of the season, but he was gifted that last race win and the championship.

@@dylanfletcher8745 I'd save my energy if I were you, anyone who looks at the 21 season as a whole and concludes Mercedes were favoured by the FIA is just seeing what he wants to see, can't reason with these people.

@@dylanfletcher8745 you said it twice as many times as i have now 😂 your a sheep through and through lol are you ready for the proof.. you think max was gifted the title after ONLY outperforming hamilton in 85% of the races 🥴.. baring in mind bottas beat perez and merc won the CC It would of been more of a robbery if lewis won on the back of a free engine because of sprint races, which effectively handed him brazil-abu dhabi.. again.. your a narrative sheep

Absolutely, I’d like to see this type of interview for all team principals and I think given Drive to Survives popularity, if Sky continue to release on YT, it will get an audience !

xD

Yea, like he doesnt have the biggest beverage manufacturer backing him

@@ashokathegreat4534 when did Coke enter Formula 1.......??

You have no clue about F1 if DtS got you hooked.

Never thought I'd say this, but Monaco has had its day. The cars just look totally out of place there.

@@PA-lf8sd Yeah it just doesn't work as a race anymore

Monaco seems to be on the F1 calendar now for the business side, for the teams to entertain sponsors, and as a top corporate hospitality destination. Plus it's a base for lots of F1 people who supposedly live in the tax haven. But the racing is both dangerous and dull at the same time. Perhaps they should build a new track in the mountains behind nearby Nice or Cannes. Wouldn't be difficult to make a more interesting French circuit than Paul Ricard. They could probably even still call it the Monaco Grand Prix via some shady deal with the principality, which is only a few miles from Nice but too small itself for a better track.

Rosberg wasnt

@@waltclarke2618 so many people don’t really know what they are talking about in F1. I have been watching since 1997 and know the history well.

NO HE IS NOT U MUST BE JOKING

No, Steiner is the star.

He didnt produce max! Rb16 wasnt faster than merc (ask perez)... The only time they had a profound car was when vettel was driving!

"close season"

Pedant 2: Geri. Geraldine Estelle Horner (née Halliwell).

Brundle is an excellent interviewer and race analyst

Porsche comes from a racing background and have won many titles in all classes they have competed in. Im sure if anything they will only add positives to the relationship .... oh and with them comes German reliability.

Agreed
