I think he recognises its a big tory pat on the back party. Also i’d say it makes ronnie winning more likely because i’d say theres a fair bit of crossover between fans of the two.

Ronnie winning would be like rage beating whatever cowell-bot was up for christmas no1 that year.

Isn't Hamilton quite obviously winning the thing?

Driving specifically? Because Ronnie became the most decorated snooker player of all time this year. Hamilton merely equalled schumacher in an uncompetitive era.

doesnt Bottas drive the same car ? and hamiltons other teammates over the years  ? so its uncompetitive because of Hamilton .... That makes him very good id say to dominate like he has ... along with the reminder at the weekend of the dangers of F1 ... he will pocket that award ..... Schumacher was rightly lauded for his achievement and was also dominant because of his talent , so also so should Lewis

Well if there’s anyone capable of some break it’s Ronnie O’Sullivan.

well, it's a public vote...and Hamilton really isn't that popular...and he's black...so Sullivan could actually win.

Lets hope he does. That would stick it to all the posh dullards of the world. Suck it Clare Balding, up the ruddy Ronny!

We’re all skirting around the real issue here. Snooker is a glorified bar game. Not a sport. 

I’d tend to agree but clearly this operates a looser definition of a sport- if F1 is a sport then so is commuting.

Let me know when you next experience 6G  and 200mph on your commute ...... and not the mobile phone signal variety !!

I think it’s very rare to witness a true great of any sport in his prime, I’m dead chuffed I’ve been able to witness what Hamilton has accomplished in his career.

Snooker is a more relatable sport to the average person. Anyone can go to their local club and have a go themselves. There’s no huge expense to get into the sport, it’s pure talent and nothing else. Darts is the same and so is football. 
 

F1 takes a lot of financial backing from a very young age even to have a small chance of making it. It’s very much an elite sport similar to show jumping etc. 
 

You generally need to be from the right background to make it. Hamilton is a rarity, he didn’t come from a privileged background, his dad worked multiple jobs and luckily he was spotted at a very young age by McLaren who financially backed him as he made his way through the junior series. 
 

He’s equalled the previous worlds best and can go on to beat that record if he wished. Definitely a talent worthy of recognition.

Saying that though, he is line for a knighthood and has previously won SPOTY. Does he really need the extra exposure or has there been another breakthrough star who deserves it more?

both snooker and f1 can be pretty fuckin boring, but at least f1 has loud cars and crashes and stuff.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
