Shouldn't be Lewis.
Probably will be Lewis.

Should be McIlroy, his achievements this year are way in excess of what Hamilton has achieved. It feels to me like F1 is very much a team game, as Hamilton is clearly a talented driver but so are the rest. The big difference year on year is ultimately the car, not whoever is driving it. McLaren should win the team award if they want to recognise his achievements.
The poll in this forum seems to be way at odds to what the bookies reckon, bit of Motors bias coming though.

Between Rory and Lewis for the top honour.
Anyone else think Lizzy Yarnold is quite an attractive young woman or am I in 'Guilty Pleasure' territory.

2 appearances for England RU and he'll be favourite for next year

Allways a hard call, but Jo Pavey for me.
A forty something wining a 10k gold, all kinds of wow. Much like my mucker in speedway, greg hancock... double world champ in his 40's, after his first of 3 back in 97.

so i was just browsing the bbc sport website and stumbled across this:
WTF are they on about? what "adversity" and "tough times" has poor old lewis had to face this year?? jules bianchi is certainly facing some tough times. lewis looks fine to me and has had the best car all year. i'm confused. :/
(and no, i didn't read the article. i just think the headline is a joke.)

So to go through tough times you have to land yourself in a coma?
I think given the context of the article, the phrase tough times is fine. It's talking about tough times in F1, not claiming he came from the ghetto or is fighting AIDS. Some people...

He had some tough times sat on his arse in a tax free pad in Monaco with his hot girlfriend while the team engineers worked round the clock to give him a winning car. If that's not conquering adversity and sticking it to the man then I don't know what is.
obviously not. it was an extreme example..
i've still not read it but "tough times in f1"?
beating ONE person who had the same car as him. wow, what an achievement.How can you give it to a car. They should give it to the designers. The gap between the better drivers is less than 0.5% of the lap time. If this is about sporting achievements he shouldn't even make the list. F1 is up there with fishing and darts as a sporting achievement. I love the sport but find it odd the focal point is always the smallest contributor to the lap time. They might as well give the honour to Joe Bloggs who designed the front wing.
If it's on personality, then he should never make the list. He has none.

Brendan Rodgers should be in for a shout for bringing us the lolz.

Lewis Hamilton seems the obvious choice. But I have a feeling Jo Pavey will get it. She won the 10k race at the age of 41, less than a year after giving birth to her second child, and being a mum of two. They'll want to send the message that you don't have to be young to win medals and that she is a rare example of such a feat and under difficult circumstances.
