I seem to remember rumour having it that after Sir Frank got his sir, RD was offered an MBE but turned it down, presumably in a fit of pique. Do that and your sirhood of often binned.
Frank Williams became Sir Frank in 1999 and Ron Dennis was given a CBE in 2000 so I don't think that story can be true.Derek Smith said:
Surtees has an MBE and bar, so to speak. That's pretty cool.
Surtees was an MBE (since 1959) but was "upgraded" to OBE in 2008.One of his cars will be at the Goodwood FOS, Williams FW13b from the Williams Heritage collection running for the first time in 25 years.
