Christian Horner fees F1 followers £75 for UK tour tickets selling the launch of his new memoir – with all proceeds going to charity
Christian Horner is charging F1 fans £75 for tickets to his tour promoting the launch of his new memoir – with all the proceeds going to charity.
The autobiography delves into the most defining moments of Mr Horner’s career as well as the highs and lows of his time at the top of the motorsport world.
Mr Horner will donate all profits from the book tour to Chris Hoy‘s Tour De 4 and his chosen charity of Ocular Melanoma UK.
The rare form of cancer took the life of his ex-partner, and the mother of his daughter, last summer.
Chris Hoy’s Tour De 4 is an annual charity event hosted by the cycling legend that raises money for cancer charities.
Mr Horner’s £25 revealing memoir Drive will be released next Thursday, but the book has already been slashed to half price on Amazon’s pre-order service.

The former Red Bull CEO has always denied the allegations and the conclusions of internal investigations found him twice cleared of any impropriety.
