Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton SPOTY

[BoroFur]

So thoroughly deserved.

An amazing and unique British sporting icon 🏎

 

[rob_fmttm]

Yes, absolutely and tremendous that he is trying to inspire black and minorities into STEM subjects as well as sport.

 

[swordtrombonefish]

Can't argue - not only SPOTY but GOAT

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

Yeah even though he has the fastest car....

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

It was a no brainer that he should win. Although just for a laugh I was hoping it would be Tyson Fury

 

[Norfolkred1]

I didn't know he had a personality.

 

[A]

It's not really a sport though, I mean, does he have to change his shoes?

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

He's a car driver, nothing to do with sport.

 

[JM14]

Like him or not but he will end up the most successful British sports person of all time, very well deserved

I can't see him getting anywhere near Phil Taylor

The racing car driver I remember with particular affection is Graham Hill, he was a very witty and likeable guy, a great character with a huge personality. His interviews with Jackie Stewart on SPOTY were great fun. See

The great Jim Clark is buried in Chirnside, about ten miles from where I live.

Well before my time but those cars are incredible

So thoroughly deserved.

Is he British ? I thought he had emigrated to Monaco.
True he does like the Isle of Man.

Sport is questionable
Personality is questionable.
But hypocrite is undeniable.

Really strange how that other driver steeped in to the car when Lewis had the Covids and would have won had it not been for a mistake by his team when changing the tyres. A mistake Mercedes had never made ever in over 100s of grand prix.

Terrible shortlist imho, Jordan Henderson is not a sports 'personality' in my book. If football had to be represented it should have been Rashford who I would have voted for

I can only assume you are measuring success by amount of money in the bank

What about

John Surtees
Geoff Hurst
Bobby Moore
Bobby CHarlton
Jack Charlton
Stephen Redgrave
Nick Faldo
Fred Perry
Andy Murray
Ronnie O'Sullivan
Henry Cooper
Johnny Wilkinson
Seb Coe
Steve Ovett
Brendan Foster
David Bedford
David Beckham
Geoffrey Boycott
...

If you're talking about F1, I agree.

Good shout for Rashford. someone who has done something over and above his sport. Just can't see Hamilton handing out food parcels out the back of a van somehow

 

[sambaDTR]

Should have been Neil Warnock, without doubt.
