Unlike Lewis

Huge Cheer for Hoy when he was announced. Reckon Lewis has to be in with a shout too. Haven't all the GB F1 racing drivers won SPY at some stage?

Fair play to him, i got it almost right apart from lewis and hoy, i really thought hamilton had it nailed, shows how f1 has come down in british motorsport over the years.

Did wendy houvaneghal have a say in this, i got told she did and i totally missed it as ive met her in person and got her to sign my lid.

Top lass to boot.

At the risk of repeating myself...

No, it's personality as in:
a famous, notable, or prominent person; celebrity.

Not personality as in:
the visible aspect of one's character as it impresses others

In any other year Hamilton would have won it, but this year was a rarity in that we had a lot of sporting success. Hoy's achievement is unheard of for the UK. I think a lot of people expect Lewis to win another championship or two, whereas Hoy may not, i.e. Lewis'll win SPOTY next year probably!
