“I wasn’t prepared to take risks” - Christian Horner reveals why he gave up F1 driver dream

Speaking to the Financial Times, he s💫aid: “I stopped because I got as high as Formula 2 but I recognised that as the cars get more powerful you realis🌃e the risk that’s involved.
“Having the ability to disconnect your head from your heart is sometimes quite difficult and I wasn’t prepareꦰd to take the risks.
“There was 𝓡a self-preservation that k🍎icked in and said ‘this is stupid’ so I knew at that point it was time to stop.”
