In this special episode of The Inside Track, Matt Majendie visits Red Bull Racing HQ for an in-depth conversation with Team Principal Christian Horner. With the F1 season at full throttle, Horner reflects on Max Verstappen’s performances — and whether he believes Max is the greatest driver in Red Bull history. He discusses the decision-making behind the driver lineup, the impact of Drive to Survive, and whether the media spotlight has outshone even his pop star wife. Horner also opens up about what keeps him motivated after two decades at the top — and why Red Bull’s next chapter, becoming an engine manufacturer in 2026, might be their greatest challenge yet. This is part 1 of their chat, make sure to check out part 2, coming soon! For the entire season Matt Majendie and Rick Edwards are embedded with Max Verstappen, Christian Horner and the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team. Matt will be in the pits and in the garage, with the drivers and in the factory, at the debriefs and the strategy session. Each week, Matt will share insider stories and updates with Rick in the studio. Get involved with the show! Email us:
