Sky Formula 1 pundit and former grand prix driver Martin Brundle has been awarded an OBE in the King’s New Year’s Honours for 2025.
The Briton, who competed in 158 F1 races before moving into a broadcasting role, was bestowed the accolade for services to motor racing and sports broadcasting.
It comes off the back of an ultra-successful spell in front of the television cameras, where he has worked as an F1 commentator and analyst for ITV, BBC and most recently Sky.
His abilities have been well recognised, with Brundle having won multiple RTS Television Sports Awards for best Sports Pundit.
The 65-year-old is perhaps most famously known for his pre-race grid walks, where he broadcasts live and unrehearsed during the build-up to grands prix as he tries to speak to drivers, team personnel and celebrities.
Brundle’s OBE has been hugely welcomed by senior figures within F1 and motor racing.
