Chris forgot to ask Christian Horner, the Principal of the Red Bull Racing an “important” question while on air. The 53-year-old explained to listeners he needed to ask Christian for something. But he decided not to try and call Christian back and said his plea live on air.
Speaking on his Virgin Radio Breakfast Show, Chris said: “Do you remember there was one other question we had to ask Christian Horner.
“It was the most important question and I didn’t ask him.”
His co-host said: “Shall we get him back?”
Chris said: “I think he’s gone to the drivers briefing which is quite important because they want to trial for the Grand Prix.

“He might still be at the energy station.
“Christian if you can still hear me, can we have one more pass for our boss to get in?
“Mike, our boss, can’t get onto the energy station.
“But he’s listening to the show and it sounds great on the other side of the track on his own.
“I think he’s having a coffee or an ice cream.”
Chris previously revealed his nightmare journey ahead of a recent event attended by Prince Charles.
He said: “We had to go and buy a new outfit. So, we bought a new outfit on the hoof. The Frothy Coffee Man [Hiten Vora] said, ‘Give us your sweaty stuff and I’ll sort that out.’”
After buying and changing into the new outfit, they got into a car and attempted to make their way to the London venue.
But, with standstill traffic, Chris said he was urged to opt for a plan B: the Boris bikes.
Speaking in the present tense to illustrate the moment, he added: “We’ve got to be there on time because Prince Charles is coming and it goes into lockdown and all that kind of stuff you can imagine, so you can’t be late.
He added: “Frothy Coffee Man says, ‘[Hiring a] Boris Bike is the only way.’ So, he gets me a Boris Bike out of one of the bays, so I start pedalling.”
Chris then highlighted it was a “really hot” day and his last minute outfit consisted of multiple layers which made him sweat.
After finally getting to the venue just on time, he concluded: “I arrived there dripping like a sponge.”
