Sir Lewis Hamilton has been knighted in recognition of an outstanding career in Formula 1 just days after he controversially lost out on a record eighth title.
Hamilton was dubbed a knight by the Prince of Wales during a Windsor Castle investiture ceremony on Wednesday, but the Mercedes driver declined to speak to reporters afterwards.
Though, the Formula One driver is no stranger to royalty, having also met the Queen in person. As well as being presented with an MBE by Her Majesty in 2009, Lewis was also invited to a private lunch with the monarch, where she gave him some advice on dining etiquette.
