2019: 10 years of this blog and the F1 year that was...

Justin:

Ok, in my tenth year of F1 blogging I said I'd make a renewed effort to blog regularly. Well, we can safely say that didn't happen.

BUT...

I think it's kind of fitting that my last blog before this one covered the amazing Niki Lauda, a good race at Monaco (luckily I didn't blog about most of the races up to and including the awful French GP!), remarks on Bottas hanging onto Hamilton's coattails and the brewing rivalry at Ferrari...ehm...


Let's talk about Lewis.....

Arise Sir Lewis!

Chris Hoy is a 6 time Olympic Champion. Steve Redgrave is a 5 time Olympic Champion. Andy Murray is a 3 time grand slam winner (the first Brit to win Wimbledon for 75 years etc). They all have the title of Sir.

In the context of titles won, Lewis Hamilton is surely a certain for first on the list on the New Year honours list!

Ok you could argue he should get one when he undoubtedly wins his 7th title in 2020, equaling Schumacher at the very top of the F1 all time title list. But, no. Give him the Knighthood now damnit!

PS - 7 July 2020 - I went to write a new blog on the first race of 2020, and found this half finished piece. Can't believe it's been over 10 years of blogs now. And, clearly Lewis did not get knighted. What a joke.
