The whole honours system is a complete nonsense. Lewis is already an MBE, a Member of the order of a British Empire which no longer exists and harks back to a time that he actively campaigns against. So why did he accept it?

A knighthood means nothing and I would prefer he be given a peerage, as Ian Botham was, which would enable him to  pursue his campaigning in the heart of government.

If you think such things are important then Surtees should certainly have joined the list of Motorsport knights.
