Christian Horner moved Guenther Steiner to one side at Red Bull to make room for Adrian Newey. F1
Christian Horner has recounted the time he orchestrated Guenther Steiner’s exit from Red Bull, when he was technical operations director at the team.
Steiner was in the role from Red Bull’s formation in Formula 1 after the company bought out the existing Jaguar team, with Horner placed into the team principal’s role after productive meetings with Helmut Marko and Red Bull co-owner Dietrich Mateschitz. Horner had founded and run the Arden Formula 3000 team in the late 1990s, driving for them before the end of his on-track career – taking on ownership and team principal duties aged 25.
Horner revealed he had been in discussions with Eddie Jordan over buying his eponymous team at Silverstone as he looked for a way into Formula 1, but those talks did not progress and it coincided with Red Bull confirming its future involvement in Formula 1. “I was looking to see how I could take Arden into F1. Bernie [Ecclestone] was pushing me towards the Jordan team,” Horner told“Helmut invited me to meet Dietrich in Salzburg in the summer of 2004. The Jordan deal didn’t happen and Red Bull bought Jaguar. Dietrich invited me back at the end of 2004 and asked me to be team principal.”
