I hope he sticks to his BLM principles and declines the honour off the Windsors with their dodgy history of racism.

Tokenism.
So, 7 world championship wins have nothing to do with it.
Not a of fan LH or formula1 but if the likes of Jimmy sovile or Philip Green can get knighthoods why not someone who has actually achieved something.
PG built a billion-squid business.
JS raised more money for charity than Captain Sir Tom (if I had it, I would have topped up Sir Tom's fund myself, to expunge JS of that accolade).

He is aman of principle Vinty
When the likes of Sally from corrie gets an MBE for being Sally from corrie, it does bring the whole thing into question.
We'll see a Sir Notch next year for services in consistently spouting a boring narrative for four years non-stop.

A German car
As proved when George Russell, (who is 5" taller), squeezed himself into the very same car and had to wear a pair of shoes 1 size too small to operate the pedals safely yet would have certainly won the race if the backroom boys hadn't, (deliberately?), messed up a tyre change. If he had won that race, under those constraints, imagine what he could do with the same car set up to his personal requirements. It would have shown the whole racing world that LH is only a part of the package and the car is equally, if not more, the reason he has won so many races. Also factor in that when someone starts to win a number of races their ego also gets bigger, and they can be intimidating to other drivers, who will often give them the benefit of doubt in a potential race scenario. With GR they were more inclined to think they were better than him because he hasn't had the best of results with the Williams car.
I think giving him a knighthood is totally wrong. He drives a very fast racing car, which is a very safe car in comparison to normal cars or even the likes of saloon racing cars, for a great deal of money and now he gets honoured in this manner. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who perform much more dangerous tasks in their jobs each day for far less money and they don't even get recognised. Those that do get recognised usually get a much lower recognition award and then simply get on with what they do every day.
