I would put a lot more stock and value into British knighthoods if Rudy Giuliani hadn’t received one tbh

Vando posted:I think the 'disagreement' probably boiled down to being asked 'why are you 2 laps down on your teammate get it together' and him trying to call the car poo poo in response, something that is traditionally well received over in Maranello. No I mean that Arnoux did something far worse that he or no one else has ever commented on.

The list of utter shits who receive knighthoods is extensive (it's most of them). The better example would be Jimmy Savile if you really want a monster, or just about every high ranking member of the civil service and government. The ones they give out for headlines to celebrities and people who do charity work are a distraction from the vast majority that are basically just a job perk for people who went to the same school as the Prime Minister

The Knights should only get to keep their title if they honour their duties as defenders of the realm by demonstrating martial prowess at a traditional hastilude event. Jousting, duel, or the completion of a Pas d'armes at a suitably traveled location such as King's Cross station.

Congratulations to Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton, Knight Bachelor, Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. I presume it is now bannable to refer to the greatest racing driver of all time in any less formal or respectful way???

Serious question, will our favorite commentators be legally required to refer to Lewis as Sir Lewis and never as just Lewis in their broadcasts?

How often do they say Sir Jackie Stewart? Or actually sir on any of these. Sir Henry Segrave Sir Malcolm Campbell Sir Jack Brabham Sir Frank Williams Sir Stirling Moss Sir Jackie Stewart Sir Patrick Head Sir Lewis Hamilton Edit: They do say Sir Gio Perez all the time though.

As a show of good will and hope for a harmonious future going into 2021 I have bought a cast iron pan. I can only hope the cast iron faction shows the same openness towards Teflon pans as well

I don’t know why someone who considers himself a social justice advocate should accept honors from the imperialist and racist British monarchy. Even Bernie Ecclestone had the guts to refuse a knighthood

Phwoar, what a day! First the vaccine from the Oxford lads is confirmed to destroy Covid, then we won Brexit and finally Lewis got promoted to Knight Commander, which should really deter the French from trying any funny business. If every day in 2021 is this good, This is going to be a fantastic year for Britain!

Didn't he have to turn it down because there was a big stink over him basically bribing tony blair and he didn't want more attention on his finances?

I could put up with so much crofty bullshit if he wasn’t somehow sub 50% on guessing the right loving driver we’re watching. Fuckin Albon could be starting 15th with max on pole and he’d somehow call the lead redbull through turn 5 “albon” Because max has already hit the wall

I find it hard to believe modern commentators get it wrong so often when the leaderboard positions update in near real time. Hunt and Walker were fairly good at calling the right driver when they had nothing but their view from the commentary box, the hastily put together leaderboards made by race watchers as cars came past them on the track, and the brief flashes of any action that you can see on grainy footage that was seldom pointing at the action. Also, when they didn't have a clue, they'd just say what they saw. "That's one of the Alfa Romeos... ...I can't see who it is." Not the most helpful, but fair play to them: if you haven't got a clue, that's fine.
