Christian Horner turned 50 on November 16, but it was the eve of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and clearly there was no time for celebration. From Las Vegas, Formula 1 went straight to Abu Dhabi, where the season finale took place, and there the head of Red Bull Racing had other reasons for fun.
And only now, after the end of the championship, the opportunity arose to properly celebrate the anniversary, and according to the hero of the occasion, Geri Halliwell, Horner’s wife, arranged a real surprise for him. The point is also that among the guests of the evening, held in the luxurious Mount St. restaurant. in central London there were many world famous show business stars.
For example, The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, a veteran of the British rock scene Sir Rod Stewart, Emma Bunton, Geri’s girlfriend, who was also part of the Spice Girls, and Gary Barlow of the group Take That, who was accompanied by on the keys while everyone sang the choir the traditional song Happy Birthday to You for the hero of the day.
Horner was presented with a “three-tiered” birthday cake with the words “World Champion” written on it. They say that Bernie Ecclestone, the former head of Formula 1 management, and his wife Fabiana Flosi even came to the party.
Christian shared a photo taken during the celebration on social networks and commented on it: “My beloved wife extremely surprised me by organizing a completely unplanned dinner in the company of wonderful friends. It looks like we’re putting together a whole ensemble!”
Horner really had a reason to be happy, and this isn’t just his recent anniversary: the Red Bull Racing team won 21 of 22 races last season, setting a record that will be extremely difficult to overcome.
