Horner also played a crucial role in recruiting Adrian Newey, who was announced as the team's technical officer in November 2005.
Horner's prime success at Red Bull Racing came from 2009 onwards. The team finished second in the 2009 Constructors' Championship with drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber finishing second and fourth respectively in the Drivers' Championship. In 2010, Red Bull Racing won the first of their four consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' Championships with Vettel being crowned the youngest Drivers' Champion.
