Horner’s drive offered a unique perspective for fans and the team alike, as he got to experience firsthand the engineering marvels he has overseen from the pit wall. Watch Horner’s impressive debut behind the wheel and see how the man who leads Red Bull on the strategy front handles the raw power of an F1 car.
