Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says that he feels "privileged" to receive an OBE for his services to motorsport.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has revealed his 'shock' in being given an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.

The 39-year-old has received the accolade for his services to motorsport, which include overseeing Red Bull snatch three consecutive drivers' and constructors' championships.

"It's all a bit unexpected," said Horner. "Incredible really. I'm naturally shocked, but I just feel very honoured and privileged to receive it. To be in the company of men and women who have achieved such great things for the country is something very, very special."

Horner is the second member of the Milton Keynes-based team to be honoured following chief technical officer Adrian Newey's OBE last year.
