A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Christian Horner and former F1 driver Martin Brundle have discussed Max Verstappen's baby's astonishing bloodline: has the first female F1 champion been born?
Following FP1 for the Miami Grand Prix, Horner and Brundle talked about Verstappen's new role as father to his baby girl, Lily.
"It's great news for Max and Kelly, and their family. It's great, it's really a big thing becoming a father, and Max is super proud and rightly so," said Horner in conversation with Brundle's during Sky Sports broadcast.

Brundle then asked: "We talk often about wanting, and there's so many championships, to get an incredible female Formula One racer. Has she just been born?"
Horner then made the comparison with racehorses, emphasising - jokingly so - the importance of DNA in performance.
"I've been getting into horses over the last few years, and when you look at the bloodlines, that's what it's all about. You look at the DNA of a Verstappen and a Piquet, there's seven World Championships between them. It might not be a bad idea."
