If he's not granted a Knighthood in this year's honour list the sitting government are racist or have been in a bunker since Jan 2020. Similarly, if he's not voted the Sports Personality of the Year by The BBC and public, then the country does not deserve to be represented by him.
The man is a genius in F1, and he's a brain too!

I thought you had to be British to be awarded a knighthood. Is he not from Monaco? That’s certainly where he pays his taxes.

The owner (soon not to be) of Arcadia had one - he paid over £300m for it. Does he not live outside The UK too? I think country of origin is the deciding factor. Non-entities like the leader of the Labour and Liberal Party they had a knighthood. Astonishing!

I agree. The whole honours system has been discredited over the years. I’m not denying Hamilton’s talent, it’s just my hatred of these people who wrap themselves in a Union Flag but don’t live or pay their taxes there.

Those calling for Hamilton to be knighted argue, however, that the 35-year-old is among the top 5,000 taxpayers in the UK despite his place of residence.

If he'd not been given a knighthood the Conservative government are racist; beat Alonso as a novice; beat Schumacher record (cleanly); multiple F1 crown. If memory serves another sports person was knighted because of winning 1 Wimbledon title.

Will he win another one today?

28 laps and no change in the first 6 at all. Monte Carlo is always the most boring race of the year but this tops them all.

A few changes but only because of pit lane errors.

He's having stern competition from Verstappen (V). He took the lead from V when V overdrove at the 1st bend; V under-cut him in the 1st pit-stop, and is leading.
