The Christian Horner Podcast
The Day After is a raw, unfiltered look into the first 24 hours after Christian Horner’s departure from Red Bull — told in his own voice, with brutal honesty, unexpected humor, and the kind of quiet vulnerability Formula 1 rarely allows. Get Prime Video Today
This isn't a scandal recap.
It isn’t gossip.
It isn’t a postmortem on a career.
It’s the story of absence.
A man waking up to a world that suddenly runs without him.
A morning without WhatsApps, meetings, pit walls, or panic.
A long walk through empty fields.
A drive to nowhere.
A quiet pub.
A surprise phone call from an old rival.
And a simple text message that lands harder than any checkered flag.
(0:22) The Quiet
(0:50) Old habits die hard
(1:15) the sound of Birds
(1:45) Nobody needed me
(2:10) Geri's Tea
(2:35) Feeling
(3:14) Toast
(3:45) Do nothing
(4:45) I was replaceable
(5:40) The Drive to nowhere
(6:40) Mid-day A team without me
(7:25) The Red bull parking lot
(8:14) Not the Boss anymore I told him
(8:35) A pub with no cameras
(9:20) The Call I wasn't expecting
(10:00) Night time
(10:22) A world of Possibilities
(10:27) Midnight and a text from Max
(11:00) Epilogue
Across each episode, Christian confronts the silence, the grief, the anger, and the strange, unexpected freedom that comes when a lifetime of noise finally falls away. This is a journey from identity crisis to clarity — from being “Christian Horner, Team Principal” to rediscovering Christian Horner, the person.
If the first story was the wound… this podcast is the scar.
A scar that speaks.
Whether you’re an F1 die-hard, a lover of human stories, or just someone figuring out who they are without the job title that once defined them, The Day After is a reminder that endings aren’t failures — they’re thresholds.
Sometimes the quietest day of your life is the one that finally lets you hear yourself.
