Martin Brundle awarded OBE in New Year's Honours as F1 favourite recognised Formula 1 broadcasting legend Martin Brundle has been recognised in the New Year's Honours list.
Brundle stood on nine F1 podiums in 158 race starts and is regarded as one of the sport's finest drivers ever who never won a Grand Prix.
And his work has been recognised in the Honours list - the 65-year-old has been made an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) for his services to motor racing and sports broadcasting.
Brundle, a former F1 driver himself, has been a stalwart of television coverage of the sport for more than two decades.
He made his F1 world championship debut in 1984 and spent the first portion of his career in the sport driving for teams that suffered from funding issues.
