Seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton could soon be honoured by his hometown if proposals submitted by Stevenage borough councillors are approved. The Liberal Democrat group at SBC are proposing that Hamilton is recognised and congratulated for his historic achievements and propose he is made an honorary ‘Freeman of the Borough’. Lewis Hamilton would be just the ninth person to receive the honour in SBC’s history. Cllr Stephen Booth said: “Lewis’s achievement has been matched by only one other person in the world and so it’s only fitting that the council mark his landmark accomplishment. But it’s not just Lewis’s unique performance on the track."
