As the traditional list of honours was revealed on Friday night, Dennis was announced as being given a Knighthood for services to industry and charity, through his current work as Podium Analytics chair and Tommy’s Campaign chairman.
He had previously been recognised with a CBE for his contribution to motor racing, having helped lead McLaren for more than 30 years as he steered the Woking-based squad to multiple title successes.
Horner had previously been made an Officer of the British Empire in 2013, when Red Bull enjoyed a run of four consecutive title doubles from 2010. But now, having helped guide Red Bull to one of the most dominant F1 campaigns in history as Max Verstappen grabbed his third consecutive drivers’ crown, he has been elevated to the status of Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his services to motor racing.
I had thought the time for Ron's elevation to Sir Ron had been and gone, but his post-McLaren charity work has finally given him a well deserved gong. Now becoming a rare off-track racing knight alongside his contemporary and oft-rival Sir Frank Williams.
Horner also gets a promotion after successfully delivering a run of success to the great English town of Milton Keynes!
