Summary

THE MOST ANTICIPATED SPORTS AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR.

Discover the gripping, behind-the-scenes account of life at the pinnacle of Formula 1, with Christian Horner’s candid and uncompromising autobiography.

The watching world wanted to see Max and Lewis go head-to-head in a title decider, not crawl to an underwhelming finish. Anything else was a disappointment.

Packed with stories featuring motorsport’s biggest characters – Dietrich Mateschitz, Bernie Ecclestone, Adrian Newey, Max Verstappen, Toto Wolff and many others – DRIVE offers a unique and unfiltered perspective from the highest level of the world’s most thrilling sport.

Capturing the intense drama and high-stakes decisions faced when pushing a team to the absolute limits of performance, Christian Horner talks candidly about the twenty years he spent building and running Red Bull Racing. He opens up about elusive drivers, fierce rivals, team dynamics and the many personal battles he fought on and off the track, including the events leading to his shock departure from the team.

‘Well, the higher you rise, the sharper the knives,’ said Geri.
Her logic was hard to argue against.

Under Horner’s leadership, Red Bull rewrote the rulebook, broke longstanding records and won fourteen World Championship titles. Packed with gripping stories and unprecedented insights, Christian’s frank and unflinching memoir tells his story for the very first time.

Drive is the must-read autobiography for fans who want to know what really happens inside Formula 1.

Critic reviews

Horner has an incredible story to tell. It’s undeniably remarkable how he turned himself from a shy kid nicknamed “the mouse” into one of the boldest figures in global sport.

Really insightful and honest book about one of the forces of F1 for the past 20 years. If you are an F1 fan who wants insight behind the scenes of an F1 team, and one that broke into the establishment, then this is for you.

If you are here for the drama and the downfall of Horner, there is very little mentioned (obviously a result of his settlement) and his exit.

It’s still an excellent read. Especially about the sport! But there isn’t massive tea spilled. So if you are coming for that, you will be disappointed.

A great book for insight - but not for drama

Christian narrating his own story made this so intense and truthful and so much better than reading it from a book

A fantastic piece of F1 history
