It would seem you only have to drive the fastest car, be a fairly good driver and then you not only win SPOTY but get knighted as well.

Boy racer is knighted 🏎️.
I bit unfair as some before him have as well. Just feel like saying it because I don't get the whole motor racing thing in the slightest.

It's a bit mean to accuse him of hypocrisy.
