Seven-time Formula 1 (F1) world champion Lewis Hamilton is reportedly set to receive the knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II. The awarding of the title is a form of recognition for Hamilton's achievements in 2020. This 35-year-old racer is included in the list of Queen Elizabeth II's new year awards. If so, then Hamilton would officially become Sir Lewis Hamilton.

The Mercedes team racer has actually been on the list before. He was named Member of the Most Superior Order in the United Kingdom (MBE) after his first championship in 2008.

Demands to make him royals have only recently emerged when Hamilton claimed his sixth Formula 1 title. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also personally recommended Hamilton for the award. Boris was impressed by his achievements on and off the track, especially his concern for the issue of racism.

Hamilton is the only black racer in F1 history to have his knees at every race this season. He also often wears T-shirts that read 'Black Lives Matter' as a form of protest against racial injustices that occur in various parts of the world.

England has 10 world champions, but only three-time world champion Jackie Stewart has won peerage. Stirling Moss was also awarded a similar title for his outstanding racing career in various championship categories, although he did not win in the F1 championship.
