Not the biggest fan but can't argue with his achievements, so feel he's deserved it.

Did he take the knee before the Queen ? It would be funny as fuck if he did the clench fist and hand on heart thing, and wore a protest t shirt as well.

Does hé warrant one? In my opinion no Are they worth it- the titles I mean? Sirs are ten a penny these days......so no
It’s as though old Lizzie feels obliged to dish them out
If someone has shown , and I mean truly shown a level of commitment to help his common man then feel free to tap that person on the shoulder and bestow him the honour.

Not really a fan of Lewis Hamilton but if Sir Jackie Stewart was given the title for winning just three World Championships I reckon Sir Lewis deserves one as well after winning seven.
Also, although a different sport, Bradley Wiggins was knighted for being the first Brit to win the Tour de France, and an Olympic Gold medal, but Chris Froome was overlooked after winning 4 TDF's, with only 3 riders in history having won more (excluding Lance Armstrong's 7 expunged victories).

Thought it was a touch ironic on breakfast news when they said he wants to campaign on the environment
He could spend the rest of his life planting trees and not make up for his carbon footprint

That absolute young rookie from Norfolk showed the car has a bit to do with it Until they somehow ballsed his tyre change up to prevent him proving it’s the car

I don’t think there’s any doubting Hamilton’s driving ability but to suggest that’s the main reason he’s winning titles is wrong. George Russell’s performance in his absence confirmed that I think.

I like Russell he's a very good driver. Put them both in Mercedes and Hamilton wins over the season.

90% of the rest of F1 would have won the title in the same car, Hamilton may have possibly won in 5% of the other cars. George Russel showed that... And yes, you could argue Him and Bottas are in the same car, technically yes, but lewis has the pick of the support team, and team orders always play in his favour.
