To celebrate Christian Horner’s 42nd birthday, how about remembering one of his finest moments as Red Bull team principal? When David Coulthard picked up an unexpected podium finish at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix, Horner almost went skinny-dipping in the Energy Station pool. The only thing he wore was a Superman cape, with his squad promoting the release of the latest instalment in the series that year. Of course, winning eight world titles over the next decade must have felt pretty good too. Happy Birthday Christian!
