Ever since Christian Horner hung his boots as a racing driver in 1999, he has seen an upward graph in his management career.

He also led his Arden team to win the Team Championship in 2002 before leading the time to defend the title in the next season.

In 2004, Christian Horner demonstrated interest in joining F1 by entering into discussions with Eddie Jordan to buy the Jordan Grand Prix team. However, after these negotiations fell through, in November 2004 Red Bull purchased the Jaguar F1 Team (renamed to Red Bull Racing after) and appointed Horner to head the team in January 2005. This appointment made Horner the youngest team principal at the time.

The British boss was impressive from the get-go as under his leadership, the team got off to an excellent start. Drivers David Coulthard and Christian Klien finished fourth and seventh in the opening race of the season and went on to score a total of 34 points as compared to the nine points scored by Jaguar the previous year. Horner also played a crucial role in recruiting Adrian Newey, who was announced as the team's technical officer in November 2005.

Horner's prime success at Red Bull Racing came from 2009 onwards. The team finished second in the 2009 Constructors' Championship with drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber finishing second and fourth respectively in the Drivers' Championship. In 2010, Red Bull Racing won the first of their four consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' Championships with Vettel being crowned the youngest Drivers' Champion. In 2013, Horner led Red Bull Racing to win their fourth consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' Championships with Vettel winning all the four Drivers' Championships.
