The Man Behind Red Bull Racing's Success! Christian Horner
Christian Horner is the team principal of Red Bull Formula 1 racing team, which now officially holds the world title in drivers and constructors championships. An iconoclast and a one-off, he was the youngest team principal of a F1 racing team when he took over, nearly 20 years ago. He’s still the youngest team principal today.

You know why masi decided not to let cars unlap themselves for 3 laps, then waited until the last 2 laps to do it to correct it? Stop chatting shit acting like a know it all. None of us were there, none of us know what the real reason things happened.
You can love him or hate him but you simply cannot deny that he is one of the greatest team principles our sport has ever seen

I'm very impressed watching that person preaches. How possible is it to keep calm and make so syrupy statements while cheating. To me he is ready to win by any means. However I guess that now he feels a bit out of his comfort zone.
Good interview bar the Abu Dhabi segment. If that crashed never had happened and Masi rewriting the rules, that win would not have happened but hey. Each to their own
Was putting off watching this podcast for a while, but started about a month ago and have been watching pretty much a podcast a day, and having listened to quite a few in the past, Diary of a CEO is the best podcast out there. Each episode is the perfect length, amazing guests, not super technical in terms of speaking points where you start to get bored because you have no clue what they’re speaking about, and if it does get too technical, Steven digs deeper to simplify the points and make them digestible and keeps the conversation highly engaging. Everything that’s spoken about can resonate with anyone watching, and there are absolute gems in every single episode. Steven and his team have made it possible to literally have access to the world’s greatest minds, and Steven’s ability to ask great questions and actually listen, is second to none. I think Mike Thurston, Chris Bumstead, Iman Gadzhi, and Tristan Tate would be very interesting guests on here, and Gary Vee would be unreal. Thank you Steven and the whole team, keep it going. This podcast is allowing people to change their lives for the better. Everyone should also subscribe so these guys can invite people like Gary Vee and other industry titans on.
The genius to RBs success is good “Catering”.
This CD is absolutely wonderful! kzread.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq I liked it so much that I bought a copy for my sister who also liked it. It is very well done. I like the fact that there is nothing in the background to disturb - no music. I am able to concentrate on the various steps of meditation. The pauses are perfect, and him's voice is soothing and encouraging. I would highly recommend this, especially for beginners. I think I will always be a beginner.
What a great interview ! I love it. Thank you!
Christian, lovely calm voice to listen to on an interview, it gave you an idea how his team would listen to what he had to say in a guiding, respectful way. Found this fascinating. Another great interview👍

There are a lot of great guests in this channel I just love it. Great work man ! Wish your channel to grow even more and quickly. Having Lewis, Max, and Toto Wolff come here would be really great anf if coupled with older legendary drivers that would be even better. I also would live to see George R.R Martin, I really don't if he would be keen to appear in any media but wishful thinking is always better. Maybe also Michael Jordan. Maybe not all the futur guests have to be present on set but in the case it might be harder to edit the video and get seemless audio and video quality overall but I wouldn't mind as long as the guest is great. Again, wish you all the best !

im a mercedes fan since schumacher days bcs petronas, company from my country is the main sponsor, and i've been a fan of hamilton since he won his first world title. but i highly respect christian horner for his competitiveness n achievements in the sport. i came to respect him even more when watching DTS bcs the show made me realize how extremely difficult it is to be at the top. there is no slacking in F1. every little detail matters to get that extra 0.100s. n the fact that guys like him n toto is able to stay on top of that week in week out is extremely impressive. its a huge responsibility n requires a lot of mental capability to even get one world title

Christian might not have been a Wining Racing Driver. But he is a Leader. Not everyone has that in there character. Big up to Christen's Mum & Dad. Definitely starts at a young age. Good parents is Key.
I appreciate the part talking about the time required to determine if an idea is good or bad over time. I’d say I’m general now days it seems we do not think about opportunity cost. Ok if we allocate our resources to this, what could that be taking away from or adding too, consequences foreseen and unforeseen. To me I tend to think generally in this way to keep my kind balanced like, not all old things are junk or bad. Not all new things are actually good and sometimes, a working process or policy doesn’t always need to be messed with. Sometimes they need to be left alone. Scrutinizing here or there of course and keeping open to the thought that innovations may come about to make this not the case anymore if that makes sense. I also think it’s important for true growth to do your best to accept your self. At your current levels always so you have a baseline to improve upon if you so desire. Not always so easy. But for me it has been a good thing. Especially learning what I am good at and what I am not so good at and excepting those facts at present and choosing where to allocate resources always considering opportunity cost. My opinion at this time. Liable to change as new info is learned processed and implemented. Very cool episode. Good luck out there.

Really top tier podcast as always

However, based upon what happened in Abu Dhabi in 2021, whatever advantage RBR may have had didn't seem to work for 90% of that race. The deciding factor of the title was that 1 team decided to risk track position because they had nothing else to lose, whilst the other team decided to be complacent and risk-free by not taking advantage of a clear opportunity to seal the deal. I think RBR should be dealt with accordingly for breaching the rules. However, I don't see any advantage they may or may not have had which led them to winning the drivers championship in 2021.
