LONDON, July 11 (Reuters) - Siblings and solo around-the-world aviators Mack and Zara Rutherford set more records on Tuesday as they collected a trophy whose previous winners include Lewis Hamilton and Richard Branson. The British-Belgian duo are the youngest winners of the Royal Automobile Club's Segrave Trophy, first awarded in 1930 and featuring a roll call of aviation pioneers and motorsport greats. Only four women have previously won the Segrave trophy - awarded to British adventurers who show outstanding skill, courage and initiative in travel on land, sea or air - and none as young as Zara. Mack, who beat the record set by 18-year-old Briton Travis Ludlow in 2021, had to land on an uninhabited island after crossing the Pacific Ocean on a trip whose itinerary had to be changed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Previous winners of the Segrave Trophy include Formula One racing drivers Stirling Moss, Bruce McLaren, Jackie Stewart, Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill as well as Hamilton.

Lewis Hamilton a devenit cavaler! Pilotul echipei Mercedes a primit acest titlu, după ce a câştigat a şaptea oară Campionatul Mondial de Formula 1. În 2008, pilotul a fost onorat cu Ordinul Imperiului Britanic, pentru serviciile sale în lumea sportului cu motor. Luna trecută, un grup de parlamentari britanici i-a cerut premierului Boris Johnson ca Hamilton să fie ridicat la rangul de cavaler. Hamilton, care locuieşte în principatul Monaco, a fost în atenţia opiniei publice în trecut pentru situaţia sa fiscală, dar a făcut dovada că plăteşte o sumă importantă pentru impozite în Marea Britanie.

☆ Pilotul Lewis Hamilton va primi titlul de cavaler al Imperiului Britanic

Pilotul Lewis Hamilton va primi, totuși, titlul de cavaler al Imperiului Britanic, după ce recent a câştigat a şaptea oară Campionatul Mondial de Formula 1. Comisia care propune candidaturile pentru acest titlu a stabilit că afacerile sportivului sunt legale. Hamilton a fost vizat de o anchetă după ce şi-a înregistrat avionul personal în Insula Man, un paradis fiscal. Făcând acest lucru, el a economisit 3,3 milioane de lire sterline din taxele pe care trebuia să le plătească pentru aeronava cumpărată cu 16,5 milioane de lire sterline. Lewis Hamilton a mai fost propus în trecut pentru titlu de cavaler, ceea ce l-a nemulţumit pe fostul pilot de Formula 1, Jackie Stewart.
