TESTING for the upcoming Formula 1 season began this week and there was Christian Horner, the head of Red Bull Racing, still leading his team as it begins its bid for a fourth consecutive championship.

Horner was also front and centre a week ago at Red Bull’s launch of its 2024 car — a virtual highlight reel of the success Horner has built since he became team principal in 2005.

Make no mistake, the longest-tenured team leader in the F1 paddock knows how to win: Red Bull has won six constructors’ championships and seven drivers’ championships under Horner.
