Sir Stirling Moss and Sir Jackie Stewart are examples.
Lewis Hamilton has quite exceptionally 'flown the flag' for Great Britain all around the World winning five World Championships.
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept your petition because it asks for someone to be nominated for an honour.
