I think many of the posts on this thread should just read I don't like Lewis Hamilton, so I'm annoyed that he's been honoured.

Compare him with the other British champions who have been rewarded by Her Majesty though. They've all had to work hard for their success, whereas (with no disrespect to Hamilton or his achievements), he's had it all mapped out for him by McLaren and Mercedes. Maybe it should have been left for a few years, until he chalks up some more titles, which will inevitably happen. We all know he is going to become the most successful British F1 driver ever after all.

Lewis deserves the honour for services to the Swiss economy, if nothing else.

Why don't we just open one single 'Let's Bash Hamilton for Something (Anything)' thread and then we can leave all the others for genuine sensible discussion instead of comparing him to everyone (anyone) who has ever done (or not done) something (anything) before.......?

He was awarded the George Medal for that great act of bravery but hey, why let the truth get in the way of some Hamilton bashing

Nonsense. So, because he's been in a McLaren all his F1 career, he hasn't worked hard for his success?

There's a reason he went straight into a McLaren, and it's his talent.

It was probably fairly obvious on receiving his first set of wheels (Silvercross 'pram' more than likely) that the 'lad' had talent.

It should be a celebration thread about this, shouldn't ? But people these days are always taking it to another direction, there's no "argument" in the title thread but...

Let's prevent people to post here just to add to their post count. Consider this a heads up.
