A knight is a person granted an honorary title of knighthood by a head of state (including the pope) or representative for service to the monarch, the church or the country, especially in a military capacity.

Sports person living in Monaco and driving for a German team. hmmmmm...

The title isn't what it was. (Not just LH)

He's also done and spent a lot on good causes, unlike for example Sir Philip Green! Also, he's the most successful British driver by a country mile so his recognition is well deserved. Sir Jackie Stewart 3 titles etc.

I wasn't picking on LH, I could list numerous names I don't think Knighthoods are appropriate for, including the 2 you mention. Sir Ray Davies from The Kinks? Yet someone like Alan Turing is just a mere OBE after all he did at Bletchley Park.

In the current climate I think Sir Lewis is a most worthy recipient for all he has achieved on the track and off, however, all this started years ago when people were getting Knighted after a running couple of laps of the track under a "let's Knight everybody and everybody wins at everything" policy.

Agreed Andy, and you can thank the Blair Witch for that.

And no Sir Jason and Dame Laura Kenny. I think LH is fitting for the honour.

But missing out the two most highly decorated Olympians seems a bit sh***. They probably don’t vote for the Conservative Christmas Party though.

Well then does this come out of their "cost cap" amount? It really should do, if they don't pay it, they can't race.

Wonder how much Heineken paid him to do this add ? ....

"Sometimes, drivers have a little too much to drink, though."

"One example is Max Verstappen, who overindulged a bit after winning his maiden F1 World Championship in 2021."

The Red Bull driver stated :-

“So it was a lot of fun."
"Of course, when I woke up, it wasn’t so fun. I maybe regretted that final drink.”
