- Christian Horner, Red Bull's F1 boss, is the longest-serving team principal in the paddock, having been with the team for 20 years since its formation in 2005.
- Horner believes that current F1 team principals sometimes "lack respect" compared to past bosses, attributing this to a shift from entrepreneurial spirit to a more managerial approach.
- He noted that while rivalries always existed among previous team principals, there was a common understanding of what was right for the sport.
- Horner addressed his reputation as a "pantomime villain," stating that winning often makes one unpopular in the business.
