He has the talent to Win the WDC, but in the redbull he might always be the nearly man. How long before he moves to another team??
I’m no fanboy but Hamilton in that red bull would have been off into the distance yesterday. Red bull produce amazing cars, push everything, hugely competitive, racey and have an amazing pit crew but have been held back by an under power unit until now. And despite his detractors I’d say Horner makes a good (but ruthless) principal. They’re in the game, It’s now up to Max to deliver the goods consistently race in race out. Perez is a shrewd signing, he’ll generate loads of points and may actually push max over the course of a season. Very underrated driver. I’m not sure why red bull aren’t that celebrated in the U.K. they’re a British team, if it was mclaren or Williams doing what red bull do we’d be wax lyrical about them. The plucky British underdog racing team taking it to the major overlord dominant constructor

IMO, it's a lot to do with Horner's whiney, arrogant and myopic attitude. He is the archetypal old-school team principal - a lot like Ron Dennis actually, another hugely successful team manager in the sport who was also highly respected, but not celebrated.
Frank Williams, for example, had a similar ruthlessness but carried it off with a lot more diplomacy to the media.
Finally; Red Bull Racing, as they have been at pains to point out in the past, race under an Austrian licence. The Austrian anthem plays when they win a race.

He can be whiny but all he cares about is his team whether that’s taking competitors to stewards over potential infringements or advantages or speaking about poor decisions from Race directors, that’s his job. They need to be hustlers, I’d like to see him at Williams to see if he could transform them but it will never happen.

I still see RB as a British racing team but with Austrian funding, no different to mclaren (Bahrain funded) or Williams (American). You could even argue Mercedes is a private venture project by wolf, again British team with German money .
