In an interview with The 10 Group, Oracle Red Bull Racing’s two most senior figures reflected on the origins of their professional relationship, how working together for a common goal formed a bond, and how successes – plus the lean times in between – have shaped the team into a modern-day F1 powerhouse.
Christian Horner is the only Team Principal Oracle Red Bull Racing (ORBR) has ever had, playing an instrumental role in taking what he describes as a ‘party team’ to the lofty heights of winning 2022’s F1 Driver and Constructor Championship.
It’s been a long journey full of twists and turns since the team first competed in the world championship back in 2005 when a relatively green Horner was trying to turn an unproven team into serious competitors. Reflecting back on the period, Horner says it was clear to him what was needed, or more specifically who he needed: Adrian Newey.
