Coulthard gets a gong

NEWS STORY
12/06/2010

David Coulthard is the latest F1 driver to be recognised by his country for his achievements, the Scot being awarded an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

Coulthard, who made his F1 debut in 1994 with Williams following the death of Ayrton Senna, is the most experienced British F1 driver of all time having contested 246 Grands Prix. He is also the most successful British driver in terms of points, and while he never won the title, he was runner-up in 2001 and finished third no less than four times.

Having retired from F1 at the end of the 2008 season, he joined BBC as part of its broadcast team, forming an unlikely double-act with fellow Celt Eddie Jordan.

This year, in addition to his duties as a broadcaster, the Scot has been competing in the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) with Mercedes.

In recent years, other the Knighthoods for Frank Williams and Jackie Stewart, British world champions Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button have both been honoured by the Queen.
