Poll: Hamilton greatest current British sportsman

Hamilton burst onto the Formula 1 scene in 2007 and nearly won the title in his first year, since then he has been the benchmark driver of this era. He became particularly dominant when in 2013 he replaced Michael Schumacher at Mercedes, which has since become the team to beat.

The poll shows Hamilton with 39% of the 78,877 votes, ahead of boxer Anthony Joshua (25%), runner Mo Farrah (19%) and tennis player Andy Murray (17%).

Since the lights went out on last season, Hamilton has been showered with accolades, voted the best driver by his peers, as well as best driver by F1 team chiefs and of course our Driver of the Year!
