Sir Lewis Hamilton.
FFS.
So I guess we'll be hearing "Sir Lewis" constantly during race weekend commentary next year.
(assuming he is given the Knighthood as reported)

“A knighthood, and the female equivalent, a damehood, is an award given by the queen to an individual for a major, long-term, contribution in any activity, usually at a national or international level."

Problem?

If Andy fucking Murray gets one....

Franz Tost says ‘Ciao Lewis’

[lukevl]

That was pretty juvenile of Lewis to say that about Franz. Of course he would be aware who he is

Either option shows Lewis for what he is.

[Mr Ree]

I have no specific objection to his getting a knighthood, but I think that its something that should happen after you retire from said career, not during.

Thought it was pretty awesome. A subtle you don't matter to me.

[lukevl]

Which is exactly why 95% of the fans think he’s a douche socket. if DR did that I’d be so ashamed to be his supporter

[IMOA]

If Lewis Hamilton actually wants people to pay attention to the various causes he promotes, as opposed to just running a huge virtue signalling exercise, he’d be well advised to act like an adult, not a bratish teenager.

[Roy928tt]

That was an entirely unwarranted dig at Franz by Lewis and did nothing to enhance his image. Lewis is on his way past Schumacher's records and one thing in his favour is that he has not sullied his sporting reputation to the extent of Schumacher in achieving them. In demeaning someone who has been involved in motor racing as long as Franz he certainly did not add to his appeal.

Seems silly to me?

Brundle picks Hamilton over Schumacher as GOAT because Hamilton is a "cleaner" driver. What a dumb cunt.

Brundle picks Hamilton over Schumacher as GOAT because Hamilton is a "cleaner" driver. What a dumb cunt.

It's all subjective... For me, it's Michael.. and thats purely because it was he that I met as a 9yo kid at the 1993 South African GP for the 1st time and got a photo next to.. from then on out he was my hero... always will be. Did he attempt to win at all cost? you bet ya.. hell I screamed at the tv in 1997 asking why he turned in.. but that was Michael.. and never changed my view of him.. to me, he's still my hero and the GOAT

I have no interests in Lewis.. he's surpased Michael in the record books... but thats all there is about him for me.. His record will tumble as well... Time will tell who the next in line will be.
Like Michael, Lewis has his flaws... but you'll only ever see them when things have all gone Pete Tong for him...
