But when it comes to his personal life, the Red Bull team principal prefers a more quiet and slower existence away from the race track.

He shares TWO stunning country homes with wife, Spice Girl Geri in Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire and their brood.
The former property is, perhaps, the most lavish and most shared online - boasting its very own duck pond, which they use for boating.
Their farm also houses three miniature donkeys, horses and goats in the estate's stables.
For Horner, living on a farm offers the ideal existence away from the stresses of the F1 circuit.

But Geri is said to have been left devastated after Red Bull launched an investigation into claims of "inappropriate behaviour" made by an employee of the company.
The pair got married in 2015, with Horner's F1 career to be decided by a D-Day Red Bull grilling.
Back in 2019, he told that the sprawling country abode was the "perfect home to relax in."
"Restoring the farm has been my hobby – the way I put racing out of my mind," he added.

"The main house is finished but now the barns are being converted. We’re currently putting the finishing touches to an indoor swimming pool."
Certainly, it's the property in Oxfordshire that gets the most love from Geri on Instagram, who regularly shares candid snaps of her family life.

Geri appears happy to play the role of housewife, often sharing photos in the kitchen rustling up treats.
A budding chef, she has shown off her baking skills by crafting cakes using a customised Ginger Spice KitchenAid mixer, which Horner had specially designed for her.
And with four separate ovens to choose from with the AGA range the kitchen boasts, she has plenty of space for her other favourite pastime - making bread.
You can bet, Horner, who also loves using the outdoor barbecue, and the kids are well fed in the Horner household with Geri's production line of cakes and bread.

How Christian Horner's whirlwind Geri romance 'caused family row' after shock split
F1 principal Christian Horner is no stranger to a personal crisis - having fallen out with his parents badly after leaving the mother of his first child and marrying Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
Horner's parents didn't attend the 2015 wedding, reportedly because they were upset about the end of his 14-year relationship with ex-partner Beverley Allen.
While the family seems to have patched things up now, Horner has also experienced turmoil in his professional life.
The hard-working team boss has previously fallen out with rival F1 bosses and is apparently wrapped up in an ongoing feud with Mercedes racing chief Toto Wolff.
It stems from accusations that Red Bull broke budget rules and benefited from rule bending when their driver Max Verstappen beat Lewis Hamilton to the F1 championship in 2021.
And there are now rumours of a power struggle within Red Bull, a battle that could be Christian’s toughest yet
When she celebrated her 45th birthday, Geri posted a video online singing along to Michael Jackson hit Billie Jean while thanking Horner for the music, which suggested it was a gift for her.
Another living room shows off a stunning chandelier, as well as a marble fireplace.
