It's all about the newly knighted GOAT of Formula 1...Sir Lewis Hamilton. Just days after losing out on a record-setting eighth Formula 1 world title, after a questionable call by the race controllers, Lewis Hamilton was knighted by the Prince of Wales for his services to motorsport at a ceremony at Windsor Castle. The 36-year-old becomes the fourth F1 driver to be knighted, but the first to receive the honor while still competing. Hamilton was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2009 by Queen Elizabeth. A well deserved recognition.
