Lewis Hamilton
Status: Eliminated
What a wonderful evening of sharing the monumental achievements of our nation's sportsmen and sportswomen at the #SPOTY awards. Everyone from this shortlist of 6 is a deserved winner however, I do hope #lewishamilton wins this one! ,@bbcf1
#lewishamilton Good luck with #SPOTY would be a deserved win. You won about 4 races that I don't believe any racing driver in history would have won and over achieved in others when other drivers and teams had advantages. Brilliant.
As much as I hope that @LewisHamilton wins #SPOTY tonight, award of the night has to be the absolutely brilliant @BillyMonger winning the Helen Rollason award. Top lad.
I just dont see how anyone but #F1 @LewisHamilton can win #SPOTY . Drivers who have won the #F1worldchampionship just ONCE have won it. He has achieved the most incredible feat with 5 WCs, only the 2nd in the last 50 years. That is phenomenal
#spoty @LewisHamilton gives @BillyMonger the #HelenRollasin award. Wonderfully appropriate. LH was one of the first to pledge unconditional support to this brave & brilliant young man.
#SPOTY @MercedesAMGF1 @LewisHamilton #billywhizz #SPOTY18 what a nice touch Lewis making sure Billys mum was standing next to him. You can see the pride on the familys faces :-) Well done #LH44 and good luck we will be voting for you
All great sports people but winning 5 world titles and driving the best he ever has. @LewisHamilton a clear winner for me! #HiFive #TeamLH #SPOTY
Every time Lewis Hamilton wins another F1 World Championship he should win the Sports Personality of the Year. Amazing achievement. #SPOTY
@LewisHamilton simply must win #spoty ... 5 times champion of the world is just an astonishing achievement! Doesnt get the credit he deserves, a true British sporting hero! #votelewis #spoty #BBCSportsPersonality
I hope @LewisHamilton wins #SPOTY what a phenomenal year he has had! #Legendary
#SPOTY 2018...There is only 1 person that deserves this award of Sports Personality of the year and that is 5xWorld champion @LewisHamilton Best of luck champ ....@MercedesAMGF1 @Team_LH ....
What an incredible young man...
The winner of the Helen Rollason award, @BillyMonger
And to present the award, @LewisHamilton
#SPOTY
Really hope Lewis Hamilton wins #SPOTY. He's an F1 great and should be regarded as one of Britain's greatest sportsman.
Voted @LewisHamilton for #SPOTY For me, by far hardest thing to do - technically, physically, mentally - to win #F1 five times. Incredible achievement.
#Inspirational #RoleModels You're all fabulous..but I'm putting it out there early... @LewisHamilton to win #SPOTY2018 #SportsPersonality
Hamilton would be the deserved winner for actually dominating his sport. Problem is his off field persona leaves a lot to be desired. Then again if Giggs can win it anything is possible! #SPOTY
Hes taken it to another level in 2018
Immensely proud to see our five-time @F1 World Champion @LewisHamilton nominated tonight for Sports Personality of the Year!
Six magnificent candidates in contention to claim the #SPOTY prize!
If Damon Hill can win #SPOTY by finishing second in the F1 championship in 1994, then Lewis Hamilton, in the season he won his 5th title and become, statistically at least, the 2nd greatest driver of all time, should be absolutely guaranteed to win it tonight
Great to see @LewisHamilton at #SPOTY He gets my vote Awesome season and not many can say theyre a 5x world champion in their sport
Just to remind people that there are 2 definitions to the word 'personality' - this isn't the 'nicest/funniest sportsperson of the year' award. Let's go Lewis! #lewishamilton #SPOTY2018
Massive well done to @BillyMonger you deserve it. Especially get thr award from your hero @LewisHamilton. Must be a dream come true. Onwards and upwards #SPOTY
Gonna get my vote in later for @LewisHamilton to win this years #SPOTY2018 #SportsPersonality My sporting hero Come on champ you can win this one
Im ready for the Hamilton fans to go wild when he doesnt win #SPOTY
Or when Hamilton wins and the whole nation goes ballistic cuz the others didnt win it!
They are All Winners they can All be Very Proud!
But my Vote is 5 Times World Champion @LewisHamilton
#SPOTY
#SportsPersonalityOfTheYear
If Hamilton doesnt win #SportsPersonalityOfTheYear it will prove that this country does not appreciate its black athletes no one has done anything in terms of success compared to Hamilton this year n itll be a joke if he misses out again our greatest ever F1 driver
Really hope Lewis wins. Definitely deserves it, absolute legend. #SPOTY2018
If Lewis Hamilton don't win then I'm convinced the person counting the votes is a Chelsea fan #SPOTY
Are they in Birmingham? Did i hear that correctly? #SPOTY whos gona win? Jus seen the case stated for @LewisHamilton i dont know F1 but know he dominated. For me @Tyson_Fury or @ronnieo147 - Fury had the greatest comeback ever but Ronnie is Snooker Ruler ppl shud recognise
#SPOTY2018 #F1 #LH44 @MercedesAMGF1 @LewisHamilton After such an epic year, with some draw dropping performances like Singapore and few errors across the season, achieving a 5th title more than makes Lewis SPOTY 2018. An incredible BRITISH sportsman
I was going to vote for @Tyson_Fury but the dodgy #SPOTY judges have left him out of the final 6 so Im voting for Lewis Hamilton fantastic achievement 5 times world champion
SPOTY tough this year, Lewis is my absolute boy, had a sensational year and breaking more records in F1. But Furys comeback has been brilliant and inspirational. #SPOTY
#SPOTY descending into farce now. Claire Balding cuts off the most deserving award winner of the night in his victory speech while, Ronnie not shortlisted and Lewis Hamilton wouldn't make the dress code for Wiggle.
As a fan of @ScuderiaFerrari, I'm not sure I can bring myself to vote for @LewisHamilton to win #SPOTY Even though he deserves it......
Even if @LewisHamilton doesn't win #SPOTY he's our winner every day of the week! #TeamLH
Hamilton is arguably the GOAT of the sport, he is one of the most complete all round drivers to grace the sport.
Whether he is up there with the likes of Fangio, Prost, Senna or Schumacher is subjective of course, but for me he wins #SPOTY
Has to be the year @LewisHamilton win #spoty. Love the bloke and the way he does his business!
so, #SPOTY2018 no Lewis Hamilton, no Johny Rea, no Justin Rose.......hope Amy Williams wins as she is very lovey as #SPOTY2018 is nothing to do with sporting achievement.
Good luck to all but for me Lewis needs to be a uk tax payer for my vote #SPOTY
Show your support for Lewis at tonights #SPOTY awards with 15% off this Drivers Champion t-shirt!
Putting his achievements aside, If Hamilton was looking to boost his public image for this award, a diamonty jacket isnt the way to go #spoty
.@BillyMonger is presented with the Helen Rollason Award by @LewisHamilton. Amazing! #SPOTY2018 #SPOTY #SportsPersonality
I like Hamilton but whats he done to get a place in there? Won the championship by driving the best car in F1 by a country mile #SPOTY
Predictable sound and dull Fury about the nominees for some but the @RealBillyBullet story? Hes the real hero. What a young man. And meeting @LewisHamilton. Superb. Helen Rollason Award - and great recognition for the #QMC at @TeamNUH. #SPOTY
It'll be an absolute joke if Hamilton doesn't win it this year #SPOTY
Remind me again where Lewis Hamilton lives & why he should he win Sports Peronality if he doesn't live in the UK or even pay his fair share of taxes here? #SPOTY
I voted Hamilton for #SPOTY
The greatest sporting achievement this year.
Really hope @LewisHamilton wins #SPOTY
Best of luck @LewisHamilton
#SPOTY
