Is Hamilton the greatest British sportsperson? Part 1

Is Hamilton the greatest British sportsperson? Part 1

This is a question that's been on everybody's minds since Sir Lewis Hamilton surpassed Michael Schumacher's win record in 2020. Where does 7 time world champion Hamilton rank in the upper echelons of British sport?

Is the all time number 1? Is he just a contender? Who beats him?

All these questions are answered as we discuss who is the greatest British sportsperson.

In this episode we make the case for Hamilton as well as two legends in Olympic Rower Sir Steven Redgrave and Wimbledon champion Sir Andy Murray.

To help us we are joined by all round sports journalist Henry Clark. Henry is predominantly a Cricket journalist with experience at Wisden Cricket, Sky Sports News and the Daily Mail. He is studying for a BA in Journalism Studies at the University of Sheffield. Henry has been a long time supporter of Winging It so it is brilliant to have him on.

His Twitter is @HenryWAClark and more of his work can be found on his website at henryclarksportsjournalist.wordpress.com.

Part 2 (also with Henry) will be out on Monday 8th February where we rattle through many more contenders for the top spot. See you there!
