Fans of six-time Formula One world champion, Lewis Hamilton have taken to social media to express their disgust after the star was once again left out the New Year's Honours List.

Back in 2008, Hamilton received an OBE for his first world championship win with McLaren, but he's been absent ever since, raising the question why he hasn't been knighted yet.

To say it's just F1 fans as well is probably incorrect, as it seems like a lot of people have been left scratching their heads at the fact the six-time world champion has again been overlooked in the Honours List, despite his remarkable achievements in the sport, GMS reported.

Hamilton is factually the second greatest Formula One driver in history, and will more than likely surpass Michael Schumacher's world title haul of seven, meaning he'll become the greatest to ever drive an F1 car.

His tally of six already makes him the greatest Brit to compete in F1, but his achievements are still going unnoticed when it comes to knighthoods and awards.

This development has left the fans of Hamilton broken hearted and they didn't waste time to express their outbursts below.
