Deputy team principal of the Williams team, Claire Williams, has been awarded an OBE in the Queen’s birthday honours list, recognising her for services to Formula One. Claire admitted she was surprised but proud to be added to the growing collection of F1 names with honours from Her Majesty, and said: “I’m extremely lucky that I get to do a job I love. To be able to play a role in a family legacy is an enormous privilege and one I don’t take for granted.”
