Fans plea with F1 legend after major announcement

Former Red Bull boss Christian Horner, who lives just outside of Banbury, made the announcement earlier this month ahead of the British Grand prix.

Mr Horner, who is married to Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, revealed he will publish a tell-all book on his 20 years at the top of the sport.

Under his leadership, Red Bull achieved six World Constructors’ Championships, eight World Drivers’ Championships, 124 Grand Prix wins, 107 pole positions, and 287 podium finishes.

Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen have both become two of the greats in F1 under his reign.

His new book, Drive, will be published this October and alongside it he has announced he will be doing a tour.

“This autumn, I’ll be heading out on a UK book tour to celebrate the publication of my memoir, Drive,” he said.

“I’ll be reflecting on the defining moments of my career, the experiences from more than two decades in Formula One, and the highs and lows of leading a team at the very top of the sport.

“We’ll also have a live Q&A, giving you the chance to ask your own questions and hear some of the stories from behind the scenes.

“Every ticket includes a copy of Drive.

“Pre-sale is open now, with general sale from Friday 17 July at 10am via the venues and Ticketmaster.”

Venues include York, Glasgow, Nottingham, Bath and London.

But the venue choices have sparked a plea from many fans who want to see him in their part of the world.

One fan said on his Instagram page: “Would love to see a Belfast date on this.”

Another added: “Maastricht? Roermond? Please come to The Netherlands.”

A third added: “No Manchester?”

While a fourth added: “Australia Christian?”

Mr Horner has built up a fanbase across the world, having been to all corners of the globe with Formula 1.
