Christian Horner Opens up on Secret Health Battle After Dizzy Symptoms
The former Red Bull Racing chief said doctors found no physical cause and told him the symptoms were anxiety.
- In an interview with The Guardian, 52-year-old Horner revealed he experienced anxiety after leaving Red Bull Racing in July 2025, describing physical symptoms: "I didn't know what it was. You suddenly feel dizzy and conscious of your breathing."
- Horner led Red Bull Racing for two decades before his departure, explaining: "The identity of many middle-aged guys is through their work. Suddenly you have that stripped and taken from you."
- Praising Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff for discussing mental health, Horner said, "Toto was very brave to talk openly about such a factor for people our age." He sought medical advice after symptoms returned.
- Now living with Geri Horner near Banbury in Oxfordshire, the former principal retains his enthusiasm for Formula 1, adding: "The people, the team, the competition. But I don't miss the travel and politics."
- Medical professionals identified the episodes as anxiety, and Horner said he can now "recognise the symptoms and let it go, and breathe," managing pressures from his former leadership role.
