Greatest allround racer ever.. I think so.
Denying this remarkable man a knighthood is to Britains everlasting shame.
John Surtees.. hero.
WF
I still cant believe he isn't a sir, when you see people that have done bugger all get them, it need sorting out before he sadly passes
For this man not to be knighted is a disgrace. England must correct this dreadful oversight as soon as possible.
unfortunately they cannot anymore, he died yesterday :(
Rest in peace John surtees you will be sadly missed by millions of fans
John Surtees a true hero in racing and an out and out legend simply brilliant
I love listening to John
He was so fascinating with the way he spoke and his knowledge was incredible
What an amazing man and what an incredible racer without a doubt one of the top 5 greatest racers of all time not just because of the fact he's the only man to have truly mastered both 2 wheels and 4 and become world champion on/in both types of machinery but also because he faced many other legends in his time such as Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill, Jack Brabham, Geoff Duke, Gary Hocking the list is endless and he beat them all
He won an 287 races in his entire career 252 on bikes and 35 in cars in 1955 alone he competed in 85 races and won 68 and then in 1959 he become world champion in the 500cc and 350cc class and won 16 out of 17 races he raced in that year and also he made some fantastic comebacks in his career too and he was a great teacher for other motorcycle racing legends such as Mike the bike Hailwood, Phil Read and the doctor Valentino Rossi
RIP Sir John you will remain a true legend forever 🏎🏍🇬🇧🏁
Such a lovely guy, very sorely missed.
Rest in peace. Legend.
a picture of John and Mr. Hartel and my dad sat on my granny,s T.V. for years. Wish I still had it. My dad was the navigator for them when they were racing around the streets of Belfast and not even in a proper race. Had to be about 1957 then.Definitely should be Knighted!
John Surtees didn't need a peerage. He was a real Man. That doesn't need a title in excess of itself.
Quite correct, but we fans would have liked to see him honoured.
John Surtees - absolute legend. RIP.
R.I.P you legend and thank you
john is awesome.
I can't help but wonder what it would be like to listen to Joey and Robert get on about their early days on the roads. So many good men and women lost, but not forgotten.
Motor racing's greatest champion. Two and four wheels, nobody else has got near that.
RIP MR.SURTEES
The man's mind was incredible. RIP
God speed Big John ✌️👌👍🇬🇧🏁🏆 1934 ~ 2017

Unique. No one has ever won both world championships and no one ever will.
What a nice man. TFP
With all do respect to the British people the fact that this extraordinery gentleman, racer, champion was not knighted means nothing, simply because the British royal family has no legitimate authority to aprove or dissaprove of anyones career, it is sad that anyone still cares what the royal family thinks. Mr. John Surtees is a legend for millions of people around the world and that is the essential thing. As an ex racing driver in my sixties ( I rallyed in Fiats and Saabs in the seventies ) it would have been an extraordinery privilege to meet Mr.Surtees which I could not say the same about the members of the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha bunch ( the Windsor family ). I did get to meet other legendery racing figures such as Ari Vatanen , Stig Blomqvist and many others.
John was such a modest man I doubt very if he would have wanted sir when your good at things you make things look easy
When it was still a "gentleman's sport"...
"Infamous"? I don't think his career has any negative connotation that would give reason to call him "infamous."
Not sure how that slipped through. Corrected now.
So sad we have lost his vast knowlege and experience .
His son getting killed doing this thing they do. The family trade. I hope he's better now.
