Perhaps ultimate royalty, His Majesty King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Queen Consort, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; and, Parliament's His Excellency The Right Honorable Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, ought to graciously consider, quietly and confidentially, formulation of such a plan of action: How to elevate Sir Lewis Hamilton MBE Hon.FREng to a life peerage, in The Upper House, Palace of Westminister, as The Right Honorable The Lord Hamilton of Stevenage in The County of Hertfordshire. A wholly fitting proposed honour, upon say, his retirement from a uniquely accomplished career as an athlete, racing in Formula One; as he stipulates, his preferred legacy is The Hamilton Foundation Mission LH44 to fund, educate and train youthful talent without material means, in the engineering and technological development fields, as new and future generations of input to the 40,000 odd jobs internationally in motorracing; as definitively identified and established by Martin Whitmarsh, the ex- CEO of McLaren Formula 1 racing team; Chairman of Global Advisory Group on Formula 'E'; plus Chairman of BAR Technologies Limited, formerly heading 'The Hamilton! Commission', launched jointly with the 'Royal Academy of Engineering'. The precedent has already been set with current sporting life peerages; the former Olympic athlete, The Right Honorable The Lord Coe KBE of Ranmore in County Surrey (previously Sir Sebastian) and former Test cricketer The Right Honorable The Lord Botham OBE of Ravensworth in The County of North Yorkshire (previously Sir Ian). (The sport of cricket actually boasts 3 Life Peerages: The Lord Botham; +The Lord Cowdrey of Tonbridge in the County of Kent;(previously Sir Colin) +The Right Honorable The Lord Constantine kt MBE previously Sir Learie). His Majesty King Charles (previously as HRH Prince Charles The Prince of Wales, he represented Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, actually conferring the deserved knighthood upon Sir Lewis). Additionally in collaboration, His Excellency The Right Honorable Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, could most graciously and effectively utilise either, His Majesty the King's Birthday Honours, or New Year's Honours Lists, at the convenience of both those exalted personages. It would indeed be a worthy landmark achievement award, to compliment that of the very popular elevation to the Upper House, of The Baroness Floella Benjamin OBE of Beckenham in The County of Kent (previously a beloved Childrens' TV presenter).
Yuki or Danny to Red Bull for rest of 2024. Neither ideal but it would give Liam a better chance of success in F1. Liam starts in the junior team before moving to Red Bull from 2025. Sorting out driver contracts, sponsorship and many other factors may mean none of this happens and an external driver is brought in...
You’re kidding, the McLaren is the fastest car at the moment. Verstaffen has tried to make up for the shortcomings of the car, but it was a bloodbath. He made two big mistakes in the race. The Red Bull car needs to go faster.
