Sir Lewis Hamilton received the honor of knighthood in 2021 from King Charles of the United Kingdom. The seven-time world champion once shared the details of his conversation with the King, where the monarch acknowledged the driver's successful journey in F1.
Hamilton, since his F1 debut in 2007, is one of the most successful drivers to exist in the sport. He equaled Michael Schumacher's record of winning the most number of championships (7) and became the first driver to win more than 100 races. At 39, the British driver is not ready to call curtains on his career. Instead, he is all set to switch to Ferrari next year.
In recognition of his accomplishments in motorsports, Hamilton was bestowed the prefix 'Sir' after King Charles of the United Kingdom honored him with knighthood at the Investitures ceremony held at Buckingham Palace in London in 2021.
