Christian Horner He is a man who lives by and for Formula 1`, and is one of the leaders who has won the most titles throughout his career. He has managed to win constructors’ championship in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2021 and 2022.
These successes came with pilots like Vettel, Weber, Ricciardo, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez
However, the former pilot also has pending accounts, and has been able to reveal in ‘extraordinary Tales With Seb Coe’ the two pilots with whom he would like to have coincided. These are Juan Pablo Montoya and Tom Kristensen.
Faced with this surprising choice, Horner justified it by alluding that both have “the same steely, ruthless determination.”
Undoubtedly the most surprising was Juan Pablo Montoya, since he was never considered one of the greatest of his generation. The Colombian accumulated 7 victories and 30 podiums throughout his 95 Grand Prix in Formula 1.
For his part, tom kristensen is he most successful Danish pilot in his country. Holds the record for most wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a total of nine.
“There was a guy named Tom Kristensen, who enjoyed tremendous success in sports cars.”Horner explained.
And Alonso?
The question that all fans ask themselves when contemplating the words of the Red Bull boss is why he has not mentioned Fernando Alonso.
It must be remembered that in the past Christian Horner his pulse did not tremble to say that He tried to hire him up to 3 times: “In the middle of 2009 I had an approximation with him to see if he could come in the middle of the season, because they thought he could win the World Cup in that car”, he said.
“And then we had another conversation in the back of an Alfa Romeo at the airport in Spa years later, in 2011 or 2012 and never again... but the most serious discussion was the first and then the opportunity was lost“, he added.
In addition, Fernando Alonso already exposed Horner by setting a date for the six offers he received from Red Bull.
