Queen to also honour Ross Brawn

Dec.30 (GMM) Along with Jenson Button, Ross Brawn is also to be singled out by the Queen in her traditional New Year Honours list.

It emerged before Christmas that Button, the new F1 world champion, is to become a Member of the British Empire (MBE) — the initial chivalry class.

The Daily Telegraph now reports that Brawn, the eponymous boss of the Brackley based team that also won the constructors’ world championship this year, will be similarly honoured.

But the newspaper did not say if Brawn, 54, will also receive an MBE, or a higher honour, such as an OBE or a knighthood.
