Oracle Red Bull Racing Team Principal and CEO Christian Horner has been awarded a CBE in King Charles III’s New Year Honors List, for his services to motorsports.
Appointed an officer of the British Empire in 2013, following the Team four consecutive double Formula 1 world championship title wins, this latest honor elevates Christian to the status of Commander of the Order of the British Empire and again recognizes his achievements in Formula 1 and the wider motorsport industry.
“It was an unexpected distinction a decade ago to be presented with an OBE and to receive this second award, a CBE, is one for which I am hugely grateful and deeply honored,” Horner said. “It is a great privilege to lead and work alongside such a phenomenal Team as Oracle Red Bull Racing and also to work in an industry that contributes so much to the United Kingdom’s economy. I am enormously proud of what we have achieved with Red Bull and in the wider high technology arena and I am hugely honored to be recognized for that effort.”
