Newey's New Year honour

Both Red Bull designer Adrian Newey and 1992 Formula 1 world champion Nigel Mansell were named in the UK’s New Year Honours list.

Newey, who has designed F1 world championship-winning cars for Williams, McLaren and Red Bull, received an OBE for his services to motor sport.

Meanwhile ex-F1 and Indycar champion Mansell received a CBE for services to children and young people.

Mansell – who was already an OBE – is president of the UK Youth charity and in 2010 undertook a 1200-mile cycle around the UK with his two sons Leo and Greg, and ex-Tour de France racer Magnus Backstedt.
