Christian Horner says he and Mercedes counterpart Toto Wolff are F1’s last ‘dinosaur’ team principals

Horner became F1’s youngest team principal when he took over at Red Bull following the team’s inception in 2005. Along with🐟 AlphaTauri's Franz Tost, Horner has been the longest-serving F1 boss on the current grid.
The 49-year-old Briton has noticed a change in the kinds of personalities and characters that are in tꦚhe F1 paddoc𒀰k now, compared to when he started out.
“When I look around the room now, there’🙈s very different personalities,” Horner said on tꩲhe Unlapped podcast.
“When I first came into the sport, there was Ron Dennis, there was Flavio Briatore, there was Eddie Jordan, there was Jean Todt. There was Bernie Ecclestone runnin🐲g it, there was Max Mosley there, Frank Williams – some really big characters and 💟personalities.
“Of course now you look around the room – maybe it’s just me getting older – but there’s more managers there and it’s gotten much more technical than tꦗhe entrepreneurial side.
“So I suppose Toto [Wolff] and myself are perhaps two of the more ‘dinosaur’ type of characters compared to some. Even though I’m still on the younger s🌸ide of the team principles.&n꧟bsp;
“But the dynamic and the definition of what a team principal is these days is very different to when I first caꦓme into this post.”
