All great sporting figures have their own superstitions – this is on another level.
Most great athletes and sporting figures have superstitions and rituals, including former Red Bull F1 supremo Christian Horner. Horner spent around 20 years building Red Bull into a powerhouse on the grid, winning eight World Drivers’ championship titles and six Constructors’ Championship crowns. He had personal rituals, such as shaking the driver’s hand from the right side of the car and nominating a lucky toilet at each Grand Prix. Horner even had lucky socks and lucky underwear, patching them up when needed. Though currently out of the sport, Horner is expected to make a comeback, likely in a senior position with a stake in the team. He will be on a speaking tour in Australia before the 2026 F1 season begins in Melbourne. The new season of “Drive to Survive” on Netflix is anticipated to heavily feature Horner’s departure from Red Bull.
