Red Bull team boss Christian Horner compares himself and Toto Wolff to ‘old school’ team principals like Ron Dennis, Frank Williams, Flavio Briatore and Jean Todt.
During his appearance on the Unlapped podcast, Red Bull team boss Christian Horner explained he feels Toto Wolff and himself are the last of the ‘old school’ team principals remaining in Formula 1.
“When I look around the room now, there’s very different personalities,” Horner said.
“When I first came into the sport, there was Ron Dennis, there was Flavio Briatore, there was Eddie Jordan, there was Jean Todt.
“There was Bernie Ecclestone running it, there was Max Mosley there, Frank Williams – some really big characters and personalities.

“Of course now you look around the room – maybe it’s just me getting older – but there’s more managers there and it’s gotten much more technical than the entrepreneurial side.
“So I suppose Toto [Wolff] and myself are perhaps two of the more ‘dinosaur’ type of characters compared to some. Even though I’m still on the younger side of the team principles.
“But the dynamic and the definition of what a team principal is these days is very different to when I first came into this post,” the Briton concluded.
