Red Bull F1 boss Horner awarded CBE in King’s New Year Honours list
Christian Horner, the Team Principal of Red Bull Racing, has been elevated to the status of Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his services to motor racing. This recognition comes after leading Red Bull to a historic F1 campaign, where Max Verstappen won his third consecutive drivers’ championship. Horner expressed his gratitude and honor for this second award, stating that it acknowledges both the success of his team and the contribution of the British motorsport industry to the economy. Red Bull’s dominance in the 2023 season was unparalleled, winning 21 out of 22 races and securing both championship titles. With Verstappen leading over 1000 laps, Horner believes that their achievements with the RB19 car will be difficult to replicate in the future.
