Lady Olympian now favoured over F1 Champion

Lewis Hamilton and Gordon Brown

Lewis Hamilton - pictured above with an old Scottish man and the Richard Seaman Trophy at the British Racing Drivers Club Awards on Monday - was the bookies’ favourite to scoop the 2008 BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award following his successful F1 season. However, our friends at chickendinner note that Olympic gold medal winner Rebecca Adlington has jumped ahead of the Swiss driver, and now looks more likely to scoop the prize on Sunday night.

Of course, this shift in odds could prove a good omen for Hamilton as he was the clear frontrunner twelve months ago, only to get pipped at the post by Joe Calzaghe.

Do you think Lewis will win? Do you care? Let us know with a comment…

    Hamilton’s dick lovers like A Ludlow will be voting for him. There are plenty such cock suckers in GB so he has great chance to win.

    It is unlikely that Lewis will win as I read negative reports against him every day leading up to the awards. The British public are easily swayed by our vile media, so I doubt that he will win. It’s almost as if the British media will commit hari kari if he wins, so dreadful an outrage it will be. I think all Hamilton-haters should rest easy in their hate-filled beds as I would be surprised if Lewis came in 3rd. Of course I shall be voting for him multiple times!

    I’m completely in agreement with Ludlow. Oh and Ryan, Lewis Hamilton is English not Swiss you Ponce

    I don’t know anything about that lady. But with all the mistakes Hamilton made this season and all the luck he had to rely on to barely win in what was the best and most reliable car, her Olympic gold medal is surely worth more than his F1 WDC. That’s why I think she deserves this award more.
