Christian Horner reveals panic attacks as he opens up on anxiety and devastating family tragedy

Horner really opened up in his interview with The Guardian's Donald McRae. Former Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has opened up about suffering panic attacks and the psychological pressures of F1, while revealing the devastating family tragedy which overshadowed his departure from the team. The 52-year-old Englishman was sacked by the all-conquering constructor after two decades as team principal in July 2025. The shocking news came at a particularly traumatic time in Horner's life, just days after Beverley Allen - his first wife and the mother of his daughter Olivia - had died following a battle with cancer.
