Christian Horner announces UK book tour to launch Drive memoir
Christian Horner to take Drive on the road
Former Red Bull Racing CEO and team principal Christian Horner has announced a UK book tour this autumn to coincide with the publication of his memoir, Drive.
The tour will give fans an opportunity to hear directly from Horner through live Q&A sessions. He is expected to reflect on his two-decade tenure at Red Bull Racing, the defining moments of his career and the challenges of leading a team at the front of Formula 1.
âThis autumn, Iâll be heading out on a UK book tour to celebrate the publication of my memoir, Drive,â Horner wrote on LinkedIn.
He added that the events would cover âthe experiences from more than two decades in Formula One, and the highs and lows of leading a team at the very top of the sport.â A live question-and-answer session will also allow attendees to ask their own questions and hear stories from behind the scenes. Every ticket includes a copy of Drive.
Two decades at Red Bull Racing
Horner spent 20 years at the helm of Red Bull Racing after being appointed ahead of the 2005 season, following the energy drink companyâs acquisition of the Jaguar Formula 1 team. At 31, he became the youngest team boss in championship history.
His leadership period delivered six constructorsâ championships, won in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2022 and 2023. The team also secured eight driversâ titles: four with Sebastian Vettel from 2010 to 2013 and four with Max Verstappen between 2021 and 2024.
That record remains the defining measure of Hornerâs Red Bull tenure, even as the teamâs fortunes continue to draw close attention. For a broader look at the outfitâs current position, see our Red Bull 2026 half-season report.
A new chapter after Red Bull
Hornerâs time with the team ended abruptly on 9 July 2025, when he was replaced by former Racing Bulls team chief Laurent Mekies.
Since leaving Red Bull, Horner has maintained a relatively low profile, making only occasional appearances in the paddock and at other motorsport events. The release of Drive now offers him a platform to share his perspective on the successes, setbacks and internal experiences that shaped his time in Formula 1.
Tickets for the autumn tour dates are now on general sale.
