Nice to see reports that Lewis will finally be knighted in the new year hon.

Sportsmen and women being knighted ?‍

The honours system just get devalued everytime it happens and yes that is valid for anyone who has been given an honour just for being good at sport.

Whilst I think he probably deserves it (especially as there has been lesser sports people been honoured to the same level) I don't think it should be until he retires as it should be for all sports persons.

What about others then like an actor, delivering lines. Where is the value in that. Could it also be a nod towards Hamilton being a vocal supporter of BLM but also the charity work he has done for GOSH, UNICEF, Educating Africa etc

The whole system was thrown into disrepute after the 2005 Ashes.

Paul Collingwood MBE, for what?

Maybe it's for his charity work?

If others that have gone before him have set the bench mark for what it takes to get honoured then Lewis is long overdue , on the other hand those that have gone before him have watered down just how much an accolade it is to be awarded it , Well deservered IMO

I've got a brilliant idea to even things up a bit. If you get pole position, at the next race you have to take a race pundit out tied to your car as ballast. So say Coulthard for instance. If you still get pole, you have to tie an additional pundit to your car, so say Coulthard and Hill. Pole again?? Coulthard, Hill and Eddie Jordan. The following week you'd have Coulthard, Hill, Jordan and Brundell. If you are still achieving pole after that lot, you will then receive the maximum penalty where all four are replaced by Johnny Herbert.....

Grojeans car just burst into flames as it hit the barrier. How he got away with that. Car splitsin two

 

[SteveW86]

Wow! That is incredible that he has walked away from that crash

 

[Old Skier]

Amazing, not sure the drivers are keen to continue judging by the body language

 

[ger147]

That barrier is clearly not fit for purpose, it should not be splitting a car in half.

Delighted to see Roman out of the car and he looks OK bar a bit of a limp. An amazing escape.

 

[SteveW86]

Surely that’s a testament to the safety design of the modern f1 car. Pre halo I think we would have a fatality there.

 

[Fish]

If he’d lost consciousness nobody was getting him out!

Surely the barriers shouldn’t let the cars split like that, with the front going through leaving the rear track side?

I think part of the issue with the barrier is that it was on a straight so different to the barriers at the corners where more likely to crash.

I’m sure they will be looked at though

 

[Tashyboy]

That was a biggie.

 

[Tashyboy]

Blooming eck it’s all happening today

The first marshal on the scene immediately with a fire extinguisher was about as useful as a chocolate tea pot.

Hey, at least he tried, with the equipment he had available.

Everyone saying the halo saved his life but I agree had he been unconscious time people had dealt with the fire and got him out the outcome would have been very different
