Yes but they didn’t get paid millions for doing it, & neither of the cyclists moved to a tax haven to avoid paying tax.

Yeah but both those guys done it on their own ability. Hamilton only had to beat his team mate as they had the fastest cars. Young George proved that point a few weeks ago. Hamilton would never have won world champion in a red Bull

Notts

he has certainly broke a lot of records and its hard to argue he should't BUT many of those records are due to the era, there are more races per year now, the cars are more reliable, both track and cars are also much safer, you couldn't live long enough to win that many titles years ago! Hamilton has been beaten by team mates jenson and nico and tried to win one year by going slow to back his team mate into trouble! and yes he is paid millions and a tax exile. Hmmm, knighthood? pushing it.

Only reason folk are complaining is because he's a person of colour. Thicko racists who don't want someone that isn't white getting a knighthood. You are just afraid to say it like it is.

Ask yourself why Gary Barlow and David Beckham haven't been knighted? Both are successful in their fields, represent the UK well and do a lot for charity.

HMRC now have input into granting of honours, and using dubious tax avoidance schemes, usually means that you don't get one.

Lewis Hamilton has taken advantage of such schemes in the past.

You'll have to ask Tony Blair about Phillip Green.

I think Lweis Hamilton got his for his sporting achievements, not for being wealthy!

Based on his racing & looking at other sports who have got one should he have got it? Yes.

Should anyone get it that doesn’t domicile & pay tax in the U.K.? No.

It should be the very first & never overridden rule.

Lol at the “honours” system anyway. KCMGs for time served Whitehall mandarins, Lordships for political donors, the whole thing was outdated fifty years ago. Apparently 33 pages of honours announced today, prizes for everyone lol.

A few George medals and crosses for outstanding bravery saving others and that should be about it.

1239 Honours, 803 were for community work. 49% were women and 14% Bame.

I don't know who exactly you're saying is avoiding taxes. But they sound exactly like the kind of people the Tories would give knighthoods to.

Very sad to hear her talk about when she was told she was being given the honour “When I first heard I thought 'I can't wait to tell John', and obviously John's not here to tell. He would have been immensely proud."

For me it’s all about the tax avoidance nothing else, I have nothing against anyone even if they had a privileged childhood, then moan about it, call the place your where brought up a shithole. Now if he was spending some of his £40,000,000 a year in his home town to improve the place for all then he might deserve a knighthood.

If Andy Murray got one for hitting a ball and NOT being the best in his sport (despite getting millions in prize money.....f1 drivers dont, the teams do), then why are people complaining that a guy who IS the best in his sport getting a knighthood?

Hamilton is a supreme athlete (if you have ever been round a track as fast as possible you would know the stamina and fitness levels required are massive), has reactions and ability to get the best out of his car (where 0.1 second can be the difference between winning and losing) is far beyond most of the human race, and he delivers when the pressure is on.

If you are going to say "yeah, yeah...but he is only good because its the best car" then by that premise Cristiano Ronaldo was only good because he was in the best football team. F1 is a TEAM sport, but Hamilton is the point of delivery for the team.

Yes, he has an agenda he pursues, an agenda that some dont like, but that's his choice. Many top sportsmen and women also use their high profile to promote....he is no different.

And as for charges and accusations of avoiding paying HMRC? The information is there to support AND prove that he does, and did, pay the required amount of money in taxes.

So, all in all, deserving of the honour.

Looks like at least 350 civil servants and indeed MPs getting honours. Haven’t got to look too hard to find eye popping examples, but a stand out one was Theresa Mays resignation honours list which included Fiona Hill and Nick Timothy, who ran the worst election campaign in memory:

This year, the chief executive of Tesco, the permanent secretary of education in Northern Ireland, someone high up at The National Lottery have all got honours. Nonsense really.

If there is going to be an Honour system at all it should be for Services to Community.

Honours are divisive of communities in their current form.

What honours are the Nurses Doctors and Support Staff getting this year?

Honours have often been slated for havin a tint of cronyism about them.

Honours are often thought to be 'payment' for political and monetary support.

Honours should be community derived. Period.

And just because a Year ends and a new one begins shouldn't mean that we throw them around like confetti.

How does he deserve it more than someone else in sport? Just because it’s high profile? There are many more amateur sports people who deserve it more so. Year in year out there are plenty of people who give their time to help others achieve or participate in sport.

The irony is that for a government to give an award to any F1 driver whilst banging on about zero net carbon emissions for the rest of us.

On his talent and achievements alone, LH is deserving of an award. As he already has an MBE, then a Knighthood is appropriate.

Unfortunately, he is a bit of a "marmite" character.... love him or hate him. Hopefully he'll use this award to drive forward his agendas in a positive way.

No he did not start at the bottom he was pick out at an early age, maybe just after his Blue Peter badge. "

Picked up & fully sponsored by Zip Cart & then signed up & funded by Mclaren by the time he was fourteen wasn’t it? All from the middle class area of Stevenage.

The difference between someone like Lewis & Valentino Rossi can be seen in one comment Vale made when asked

“Are you the best rider the world has ever seen?”

His response was “No, I’ve just been lucky, somewhere out there is a van driver, office worker whatever who pays their way to go club racing, they will not get the opportunities I did & they are probably better than me. I just had the luck”.

Lewis believes he deserved his “Luck” as he was always the best.

I compare Lewis to Agostini, Everyone says he was the best as he won more championships. Well yes, but back when a year was sometimes eight races & when usually his machinery was head & shoulders above the competition (ring any bells) as soon as it wasn’t he jumped ship to what was.

Rossi on the other hand won a championship with the all conquering Honda & at the end of the year Honda pretty much said “Well it was the bike not you” so he walked out taking less money & went to Yamaha. Won first race out & took the championship away from Honda making them look pretty stupid in the eyes of everyone.

So when do you think we’ll see Lewis do that by going to Red Bill or Ferrari with Russel taking his seat at Mercedes?

Never is the correct answer, he’ll retire before going anywhere else.

To you he does to many more he doesn’t, there will be people asking who he is especially if like most they don’t like F1 or take much interest in sports in general. I’d sooner someone who I’ve never heard of & worked on the vaccine get an honour.

More examples that devalue the whole honours system, last year:

Alison Saunders, former director of public prosecutions, now “Dame Commander of the Order of Bath” lol:

“She was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the Bath for services to criminal justice despite quitting the post last year after several controversies.

These included overseeing the disclosure scandal, in which dozens of r*pe trials collapsed due to the late disclosure of evidence, leading to a review of every r*pe case in the country.

Dame Alison also attracted criticism for the handling of other sex crime allegations and investigations during her term, including claims made against the late Lord Janner and broadcaster Paul Gambaccini, who was paid a settlement over his wrongful arrest as part of Operation Yewtree.”

“Dame Alison defended her award, telling The Times it was for “30 years of public service” and that it was unfair to describe it as a reward for failure.” Hahahahaha couldn’t make it up

"If there is going to be an Honour system at all it should be for Services to Community.

Honours are divisive of communities in their current form.

What honours are the Nurses Doctors and Support Staff getting this year?

Honours have often been slated for havin a tint of cronyism about them.

Honours are often thought to be 'payment' for political and monetary support.

Honours should be community derived. Period.

No he did not start at the bottom he was pick out at an early age, maybe just after his Blue Peter badge.

Picked up & fully sponsored by Zip Cart & then signed up & funded by Mclaren by the time he was fourteen wasn’t it? All from the middle class area of Stevenage.

The difference between someone like Lewis & Valentino Rossi can be seen in one comment Vale made when asked

“Are you the best rider the world has ever seen?”

Lewis believes he deserved his “Luck” as he was always the best.

So when do you think we’ll see Lewis do that by going to Red Bill or Ferrari with Russel taking his seat at Mercedes?

Never is the correct answer, he’ll retire before going anywhere else.

Statistical he is the best ever F1 driver, many ex drivers have stated he is the best ever , his achievements are beyond criticism. "

Tbh if he walked & went to another team & carried on winning championships I’d boot the queen out of Buck house & give him the keys.

But I can say that because it will never happen. Wonder if William Hill will take a bet on it? Doubtful.

Was that when he got put into their pardon the pun fast track training program or after that? I’m sure many others with the same chance in life would of done just as well or even better.

Do you think all the other British drivers who were knighted deserved it?

Fair enough, do all supermarket workers get an honour? Or just the very best in the world? I completely don’t agree with how the system works but as it stands Lewis deserves a knighthood, "

I think the country would agree that any supermarket worker has done a hell of a lot more than any F1 driver has during the pandemic for us, just as many key workers have been totally over looked by everyone else. I’m just glad our local world championship who still lives in the uk & pays his uk taxes says thank you to them when he goes in, after waiting in line the the rest of the public does to get there essentials.

So did you have an issue with John surtees, or Stirling moss, or Jackie Stewart all being knighted because they all are went round in circles fast...

Well said Fabio as always

Surely then then also devalued the notion of knighthood as well by your reasoning.....

Or again is it just a Lewis Hamilton issue...."

More accurately after journalists exposed the truth and public outrage couldn’t be suppressed any longer the honours were removed. The establishment, the BBC, chief exec of Stoke Mandeville etc all knew and did nothing. No charges against any of them strangely enough. Just more honours.

Ah but what if we had his training, it’s like me expecting you to try to do my job or me to try to do yours. Could another F1 driver drive his car any better is what you should ask, like his rookie stand in when LH was isolating who didn’t win because the pits fucked up

I am not a fan of sports people getting knighthoods , OBE , CBE , MBE for services to sport I think they should just go into their respective sports hall of fame.However that’s another question.Based on other sports stars that have received these awards for their achievements then Lewis Hamilton does deserve his award as his record is as good if not better that other sports stars who have been knighted.

Going back to whether LH deserves it forgetting any tax business I’d still say no.

In one of the last races he & his teammate had pulled fifteen seconds on the rest of the field in the first ten laps.

There is currently no “World” anything, no one else wins unless Mercedes fck up or have a machine failure & it’s been this way for the last few years.

What George Russel did was nothing short of staggering but in a close championship it would also have been impossible.

Now look at MotoGP, In qualifying the top fifteen are regularly within one second. There were nine different winners in 2020 & in one particularly tight race the difference between first & last (15th) was four second! Hamilton pulls that in one lap sometimes!!

So he won a championship again but the championship he wins it not the one it once was, it’s pretty much been a championship of two for a while..

On that basis does he deserve it?

IMO No he doesn’t.

Perhaps if he did what drivers a few years back did? Go win something else as well? LeMan? Indy? Etc.

Or just go win in another make of car?

Plenty have done in the past..

Yes, he has an agenda he pursues, an agenda that some dont like, but that's his choice. Many top sportsmen and women also use their high profile to promote....he is no different.

And as for charges and accusations of avoiding paying HMRC? The information is there to support AND prove that he does, and did, pay the required amount of money in taxes.

. As I said earlier on this thread.I don’t think any sports stars deserves it if it’s in recognition for their sporting achievements they should just go into their sports respective hall of fame.If it’s for charity work or raising awareness of social problems to a high level then Marcus Rashford for everything he had done and also many years ago Ian Botham for those charity walks Lands End to John O’Groats I think it was.

As sports people are included I think Hamilton is fully deserving. What he has achieved is remarkable. I know the last few years his car has been great but his teammates ( one of which is now retired) also had the same equipment and only managed 1 title between them.
