Christian Horner: The Rise, the Fall, and What It Reveals About F1
Christian Horner is out.
Last week, the Red Bull Racing team principal, reality TV personality, and Formula 1 power broker was sensationally sacked after two decades at the top of the sport. But why now? And what does this shock move reveal about the power struggles, internal politics and off-track pressure at the heart of modern Formula 1?
In this episode of Newstalk Daily, Ciara Doherty takes a deep dive into the world of F1 alongside two leading motorsport journalists. The podcast explore Horner’s dramatic fall from power, tensions within the Red Bull camp, what this means for the team, the personal dimension of his exit — including his high-profile marriage to Spice Girl Geri Halliwell — Horner’s next career move, and why this story goes far beyond the pit lane.
Formula One has never just been about the racing.
Ciara’s guests are:
🚥 Luke Smith, Senior F1 Writer for The Athletic and author of On The Grid: The Inside Track on Formula 1, and
🏁 Thomas Maher, Irish F1 journalist with PlanetF1.com.
📘 Luke’s latest book, On The Grid: The Inside Track on Formula 1, is published by Simon and Schuster.
