#SPOTY #LH44 #MercedesAMGF1 Another stunning year for Lewis Hamilton .. an incredible incredible achievement.. 6 times world champ. Good luck .. you are our SPOTY.
If @LewisHamilton doesn't win the #sportspersonalityoftheyear award then I will be amazed, a 6 time world champion is an amazing achievement. @MercedesAMGF1
SPOTY Always Full off Inspiration!!
They are all Worthy Winners for me a Difficult choice for Top 3 even....
But....
@LewisHamilton Gets my Vote 6 Times World Champion is an Amazing Achievement.

6 times world champion, 2nd best driver of all time, incredible season once again. What does it take to win #SPOTY for @LewisHamilton ? A living legend
All 6 contenders are worthy winners. Personally I think @LewisHamilton deserves the award for 6 World Championships, incredible achievement. #SPOTY
It's that time of year again for SPOTY. Some great achievements to make the shortlist but to not have included @adam_peaty undermines its credibility for me. So not for me tonight. Good luck @LewisHamilton: sustained excellence over time. #SPOTY
Please, please, PLEASE vote for #LewisHamilton in this year's #SPOTY A truly remarkable talent and a phenomenal person! The most successful British F1 driver ever. Second most successful in history!

Some incredibly inspirational people on @BBCSport Personality of the Year. Thought @LewisHamilton words were very gracious. It takes real dedication to succeed in life and these people work hard to succeed. Hats off to every one of them Love #sportspersonalityoftheyear
My winner of #SPOTY 2019 has to be Lewis Hamilton. From humble beginnings and sacrifices made by his family to the greatest formula 1 driver the UK has ever produced, yet he still hasn't been recognised for his achievements .... 6 times champion!
##SPOTY
I love SPOTY but not sure I'm ready for the British public to vote again.
I can see overseas winner going to OJ Simpson, manager of the year Unai Emery, Russian Olympic team for team of the year and Lewis Hamilton the individual award... #SPOTY
#spoty2019 on the tablet - good luck @LewisHamilton ! @XFactorXBGT on the tv but only watching to see the magnificent @daltonharris perform the song they've finally let him release !!
Hamilton? You are joking right? Having the best equipment for years on end doesn't make you a great sportsman, it makes you a certainty to win #spoty
They are all amazing but I'm voting for @LewisHamilton . The most successful British F1 driver of all time and one of our greatest sportsman ever. #SPOTY

#F1 #LH44 #SPOTY Awards.
United Kingdom Much respect to Lewis #SPOTY always thought he was an incredible driver but seeing his focus, determination, incredible record and down to earth support for his young fans #TrueAthlete
2nd place for @LewisHamilton at #SPOTY. Should have won, phenomenal season and the best sportsman this country has.
I'm voting for Lewis Hamilton to be #spoty. He won't win but I'll vote anyway.
He's so underappreciated and the country take him for granted. Our greatest ever sportsperson.
This. You don't have to be a Lewis Hamilton fan to applaud his amazing talent. #SPOTY
Really capturing the mood here bbc. Bang Lewis Capaldi on to celebrate amazing sporting achievements. #SPOTY
I'll be voting for #LewisHamilton #LH44 for the #SPOTY BBC Sports Personally of the Year Award tonight. As a 6 times #F1 #WorldChampion only one driver has ever achieved more in the sport. Good Luck Lewis
I'm voting for Lewis Hamilton to be #spoty. He won't win but I'll l vote anyway.
He's so underappreciated and the country take him for granted. Our greatest sportsperson.
Good luck to @LewisHamilton tonight at the #SPOTY #SPOTY19 100% deserve it this year. 1 of only 2 people in the world to win 6 @F1 #worldchampion #LewisHamilton @BBCSPOTY
Vote done. Great list of people but had to vote for Hamilton. 6x and consistently phenomenal. Not just this year but every year. #SPOTY
Surely @LewisHamilton has to win #sportspersonalityoftheyear! Massive difference between a good year and sustained greatness
Cannot stand @LewisHamilton but got to say he thoroughly deserves to win #SPOTY F1 may not be as big as other sports but tremendous athlete and one step away from the #GOAT that is #schuey #anyonebutstokes clue is in the title... #personality
Lewis Hamilton deserves to win today, 6 times world champion, legend!! #SPOTY
Beautiful words from @BillyMonger about his sporting hero @LewisHamilton #SPOTY #legend #hero #sportinggreat
lewis was amazing on #sportspersonalityoftheyear 2019! was so great to hear hold me while you wait.
hope we see more of lewis on our telly in 2020! @LewisCapaldi
I always hope #LewisHamilton doesnt win #SPOTY he may wrap the flag around himself but he certainly isnt patriotic let's not forget the role the British state played in Hamilton's early life his education his child benefit and lots more yet he prefers not to pay taxes to the UK
To be fair @LewisHamilton is a truly great guy.
He should win #spoty @BBCSPOTY #sportspersonalityoftheyear
Every year when #SPOTY comes around I hear the same horrible comments about about @LewisHamilton appearance rather than praising him over his amazing achievements within the sport
Really hoping @LewisHamilton wins tonight! 6x world champion! Deserves it so much! #SPOTY #TeamLH
I wish some of these great sports fans on Twitter were not so disrespectful towards Lewis Hamilton. He is one of our greatest ever sports stars & does not deserve this abuse. Support whoever you want & leave it at that. #SPOTY #SPOTY19
What on earth does @LewisHamilton need to do to win?!! Most successful British driver, one of the best ever. Baffling result. #SPOTY
HOW IS LEWIS SECOND LOOOOOOOOOOL DONT KILL ME. TING IS A JOKE #SPOTY
My #SPOTY vote goes to @LewisHamilton tonight, most of the others have only had a great year I know it's of the year award but Lewis does it consistently and has been nominated 7 times since 2007 #6timesworldchampion #teamlh @MercedesAMGF1
Lewis...you are one of the greatest drivers ever to have lived (not including me), and you deserve to win #SPOTY ...but please sort your hair out...
My favourite man, Lewis Capaldi, singing on my favourite awards, #SPOTY.
Happy Sunday folks.
Great driver brilliant story really inspiring for working class kids to try to get into F1 but how boring is Lewis #SPOTY
Lewis Capaldi had a great year. Hope he hasn't over exposed himself. Truth will be in the success of a 2nd album...... #SPOTY
Stirling or Hamilton obvs gonna win #SPOTY and I don't like either so that's just brilliant
I fucking love lewis capaldi man what a stunning performance #SPOTY
Hoping that the UK based #f1 twitter will get behind @LewisHamilton tonight and vote for him to win #SPOTY #SPOTY19
They are so many deserveing winners but come #lewishamilton should won this hands down #SPOTY
So glad Lewis Hamilton didn't win #SPOTY
My pick to win #SPOTY he wont win because the English general public dont understand F1 is Lewis Hamilton
#Legend
#SPOTY19
Voted for @LewisHamilton. #F1 is my sport and he deserves to win as his 6 world championships are a massive achievement! #SPOTY
I will be impressed with Hamilton when he wins the championship in a Renault. #SPOTY
