Mercedes GP team principal Ross Brawn received his Order of the British Empire from the Queen at Buckingham Palace yesterday.
The award, announced in the New Years Honours List, was for services to motorsport, and recognises Brawn's acheivments with the Brawn GP team throughout 2009, where the team clinched both the drivers and constructors championships despite starting the year with a very real prospect of not making it to the first race.
Brawn, accompanied by his wife Jean and his daughters Helen Young and Amy Smith, arrived at Buckingham Palace at 10.00am before entering up the Grand Staircase and being shown through the Picture Gallery and into the Green Drawing Room.
Ross then was invested with his OBE by Queen Elizabeth II before leaving through the East Gallery and into the Inner Quadrangle.
