    Not that I approve of knighthoods and the like, but that’s thoroughly deserved.

    I have always said that I don’t think they should be given for sporting achievement (as in being the best at, etc), however they are given for that, in which case Lewis Hamilton deserves one.

    I do wish they tighten up what they get given out for.

    The gammon response is as predicted.

    I have just dipped into my local whatsapp group .... oh dear

    “He’s got to turn it down because he says this country is racist”

    “Will he take the knee when he’s knighted?”

    Anyone follow the old American Football? They had a bit of their own disgrace of Gijon situation this week as Philadelphia did everything they could to lose against Washingron, thereby getting themselves a better draft pick and knocking out the New York Giants in the process. They even subbed off their quarterback becuase he was playing too well. Normally I love a bit of controversy but have followed the Giants since I was about 10!

    Anyway, might be good for a trivia question if we ever get pub quizzes back.

    I am amazed . Last I heard he was stepping back from the F1 team and taking on a more powerful role within the company's motor racing section .

    Yes, albeit misguided in his previous affiliation with sore loser Trump.
