The youngest F1 chief in pitlane has vowed to spice up grand prix racing. Red Bull's F1 honcho, 31-year-old Christian Horner - who actually raced against Nick Heidfeld and Juan Pablo Montoya in the 1998 F3000 championship - told Reuters that much of F1's fan base is probably bored and 'depressed.
"We've got a different approach and personality than a car manufacturer," said Horner, owner of the successful Arden team.
He said a bit of irreverence and personality, like David Coulthard's finger gesture to Michael Schumacher in 2000, would be welcome.
Coulthard, at 33 actually older than CH, is Red Bull's lead '05 star. But Horner insisted: "I won't be judged by my age ... I'll be judged on what I do. There has to be a new Ron Dennis at some point."
