Christian Horner has announced a UK tour that will take place this October to promote DRIVE, his recently announced memoir, in which he reflects on the professional journey that has defined his long Formula 1 career.
Only a few weeks ago, Horner unveiled Drive, a memoir that chronicles the defining moments of his career in Formula 1. According to the publisher, the book offers an in-depth look at the decisions, relationships and challenges that shaped his journey, while also exploring what it takes to build and lead a championship-winning team. Alongside personal reflections, readers can expect behind-the-scenes stories from the paddock and fresh insights into some of the sport's most influential figures.
Tickets are already available through the pre-sale, while general sales will open at 10am on Friday 17 July via Ticketmaster and the participating venues.

“This autumn, I’ll be heading out on a UK book tour to celebrate the publication of my memoir, Drive, Horner wrote via his social media profiles. 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.”

Horner glad to leave behind 'the politics and the b******t side of things' in F1

Speaking to The Times, Horner revealed he is still in regular contact with many people at Red Bull following his departure. While admitting he misses the competitive side of Formula 1, he said he has no desire to return to the political aspects of the sport, adding that stepping away has given him a broader perspective and reminded him there is much more to life than Formula 1.
“I still hear from a lot of people in the team, which is nice. I’ve missed the competition a little bit, I haven’t missed the politics and the b******t side of things. When you’ve got your nose to the grindstone it’s difficult to have perspective, but there’s an awful lot more to life than just Formula 1.”
