Does it justify a knighthood though? Granted he is an outstanding driver but what else has he done......supported charities etc?
I’ve never particularly warmed towards him, he is too petulant when not winning and there are far nicer F1 drivers around. But I do admire his driving ability.
I agree. Sir Jackie Stewart deservingly had his knighthood for what he has achieved for the betterment of racing since he retired from the sport. The sad passing recently of John Surtees, a truly humble man who was world champion on two and four wheels was never Knighted. The whole honour system is a farce imho.
