The most successful British driver of all time. Does he deserve to be knighted. If so, when?

Poll SIR Lewis Hamilton.
- Thread starter Greenlantern101
- Start date
He needs to wait in line. Sir Damon Hill will be next.

World Champion
for me he deserves it. he has been brilliant for now over a decade, hes never driven better especially in qualifying taking the pole record this season. if I was going to predict these things I think he will end his career having equal fangios record & Schumacher wins record very close. so to be the equal 2nd most successful driver ever in f1. deserves it
but I do really hate having knighthood during a career, I think they should wait til its over. as almost like a retirement achievement. because Wiggins Hoy & Murray would all still have it because of their achievements

He'll probably be given it but not be able to fit going to London to get it in to his busy holiday schedule.
I think he's American now days anyway. That's where he calls home. Maybe he'll get a call to the White House?

Why not they used to kill riffraff
If that was still allowed, we would all be done for.
Well I would vote "no" but I don't hate everything.
Can the poll be edited to include an “I don’t give one” option?
No
I feel ok voting no coz I hated everything at least a few times in my mid-teens. Just to be clear.

No, because he‘s already HAM.
Completely off topic but did anyone else notice how according to Hamilton, the Mexican fans were this weeks 'best fans in F1' 
Any how, but to the subject in hand, I think the expectation of K's or D's these days is too high. Years ago, most people would have to wait until they were nearly at deaths door and have several other strings to their bow (mostly charitable or political chummyness) before the invite dropped on the carpet.
The going rate for an F1 world champion (unless you are an RBS / Rolex brand ambassador) is an MBE or OBE and that should suffice until you are old and grey and then they can review the matter.

An awful lot of olympians get knighthoods for winning just a heat, semi and then a final. F1 drivers have 20 races to try and win.
Sir Bradly Wiggins, Sir Chris Hoy, Sir Mo Farah etc.
