F1 Ace, Lewis Hamilton has been knighted by Prince Charles.
Gatekeepers News reports that Racing driver Lewis Hamilton on Thursday received his knighthood just days after his F1 championship heartbreak in Abu Dhabi.
The 36-year-old was awarded the honour by Prince Charles at an Investiture at Windsor Castle in the early hours of Thursday.
The Formula One ace was accompanied to the ceremony by his mother Carmen Larbalestier, who along with his father, Anthony, has been an enthusiastic supporter of Lewis’ racing career.
The seven-time F1 world champion received the knighthood for services to motorsport and joins the likes of Sir Jackie Stewart, Sir Stirling Moss, and Sir Jack Brabham as the fourth F1 racer to be knighted.
This comes two days after Hamilton lost out on his record-breaking eighth F1 world championship title which Red Bull Max Verstappen won in controversial style in Abu Dhabi.
Hamilton who is currently levelled with F1 legend Michael Michael Schumacher on seven world championships would have been F1’s most decorated driver if he had emerged victorious on Sunday.
