Siblings
Horner has two brothers, Jamie and Guy Horner.

He competed in the 1992 British Formula Renault Championship, where he emerged as a race winner and the highest placed rookie.

He remained in Formula 3000 as a driver until 1998 when he decided to step back from driving to concentrate on developing the Arden team.
By 2004, Horner had transformed Arden into a dominant force in Formula 3000, winning three consecutive team championships from 2002 to 2004.
His success led to his appointment as the Team Principal of the new Red Bull Formula 1 team in 2005 at the age of 31.
Formula One entry
Horner’s entry into Formula One as a team principal began in 2005 when he was appointed to head the newly formed Red Bull Racing team at the age of 31.
This made him the youngest team principal in F1 history at the time.
Prior to this, Horner had a successful career as a racing driver, competing in Formula Renault, Formula 3 and Formula 3000.
He founded his own Arden International team in 1997, which he led to three consecutive Formula 3000 team championships from 2002 to 2004.
In 2004, Red Bull purchased the Jaguar F1 team, which became Red Bull Racing.
Horner was recommended for the team principal role by Bernie Ecclestone and appointed just eight weeks before the start of the 2005 season.
Despite the short preparation time, the team scored 34 points in its debut year, a significant improvement over Jaguar’s nine points the previous season.
Horner also played a key role in recruiting Adrian Newey as Red Bull’s chief technical officer in 2005, which proved crucial to the team’s future success.
Under his leadership, Red Bull went on to win 13 world titles (6 Constructors’ and 7 Drivers’) between 2010 and 2023.
