[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1067051, member: 45598"] I'm not going to criticise a Brit taking a knighthood. I think in Hamilton's case the way he speaks about issues is massively ineffective, he sounds disingenuous and buts them into random interviews and insta stories. If you look deeper he does do a lot of great work but I find his general/surface level messages come across as preachy and weak. The knighthood is definitely less hypocritical than him preaching veganism for environmental reasons. Take away the F1 car and flights to and from races and I guarantee he still has a far higher carbon footprint than your average person, his (awesome) personal car collection alone guarantees that. He had a fairly infamous interview of wanting to start a sustainable, vegan clothes brand while wearing leather boots worth thousands at some stage too. I've said it before that my extreme dislike for him almost doesn't make sense to me because he does say and do everything you want of a champion. The secret is definitely in how he says it, the tone and timing is almost always out of touch and I find it disingenuous and for the brand more than anything else. I don't see him coping well when out of the spotlight post retirement. [/QUOTE]
