I have interviewed Horner many times over the years and had several meals with him. He is funny, pleasant, thoughtful and has a love for the sport that few people can dream of. A lot of people didn't like what he said when he went back to Europe after winning everything that matters in the US. But that's just misplaced patriotism. Racing is better in Europe. Anyone who doesn't believe that is looking at the world through red, white and blue colored glasses.
