Horner tells : “It tainted us. These things get used by your rivals. We had one of them contacting our spꦅonsors and partners making suggestions that we would be bringing their brands into disrepute. That was ℱjust underhand.

“My wife has always said to me a pat on the back is only six inches from a 🔯kick up the arse. This is like the Kardashians on wheels. As long as you are comfortable with the decisions you are taking. That’s how I live my life.”

Despite being a UK-🔥based team, Horner haওs explained why he believes Red Bull are rarely afford the status of the hero.

 “If we had a British drive❀r like a certainꦆ team in Brackley,” he said. “We are too easily seen as the bad guys.”
