FORMULA ONE fans have been left baffled after Sir Lewis Hamilton scooped up a prestigious end-of-year award. Yet Hamilton, 37, has still be named Autosport’s British Competition Driver of the Year after topping a reader’s poll. But fans cannot understand why given Russell finished two places and 35 points ahead of Hamilton in F1. George Russell would be ahead of Lewis for this award in any sane scoring.”. And a third commented: “Should be Lando Norris or George Russell and I’m a Hamilton fan.”. Another confused fan wrote: “He wasn’t even the best British driver on his team??”. Hamilton was unable to attend the award ceremony but thanked those who voted for him.
