The story that has the F1 world buzzing just got a lot more personal. Christian Horner, the man who led Red Bull to legendary glory before a šš½šøšøšš¾šš exit, is finally ready to pull back the curtaināand heās doing it in a recording studio.
The 52-year-old was dramatically dismissed from his role as team principal in July 2025, ending a two-decade run that saw Red Bull dominate the sport. Under his leadership, the team racked up eight Driversā championships with Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, plus six Constructorsā crowns.
But 2025 was a year of turmoil. A major talent drain hit the team hard, and tensions reportedly boiled over. Eventually, Horner was shown the door, walking away with a reported Ā£80 million settlement.
Now, just over a year later, heās ready to tell his side. His upcoming memoir, titled āDrive,ā drops on October 22, and Horner just shared on social media that heās in the studio recording the audiobook version.
Publishers Penguin are teasing the book as a no-holds-barred look inside his career. Their official blurb promises candid stories about rivalries, private challenges, and key relationships with figures like Dietrich Mateschitz, Bernie Ecclestone, his driversāand, of course, his wife Geri.
Horner isnāt stopping at the book. Heās also hitting the road for a speaking tour across Britain, with stops in York, Glasgow, Nottingham, Bath, and London starting October 18.
So whatās next for one of F1ās most polarizing figures? Horner has made it clear heād like to return to the sport, but only if the opportunity is big enoughāreportedly eyeing a role with equity stakes. Alpine, Aston Martin, and even Ferrari have been mentioned in whispers as possible destinations.
In the meantime, heās taken on a new gig: advising on sports investments for London-based private equity house Oakley Capital.
One question remains as the October release date approachesājust how much will āDriveā reveal about the š¹šš¶šš¶ behind the headlines?
