Damian Lewis performing God Save the King with a saxophonist at the Grand Prix was basically treason

I like Damian Lewis …as an actor. His rendition of God Save The King is what King Charles deserves. Appropriate for a relic anthem of past decadent of subservience, that thoroughly lacks sense of collective purpose & doesn't inspire a call to action or nation’s hope. #BritishGP https://t.co/xPKlZe1xwN

Not sure what Damian Lewis just did there but I'm pretty sure it counts as high treason.

If Damien Lewis had done this in Band of Brothers, the Germans would have surrendered in minutes just to make it stop. pic.twitter.com/IZrzYfbVi8

I can’t believe I didn’t have Damien Lewis impersonating Elvis Presley via the vocal chords of Vic Reeves doing a saxophone jazz rendition of the national anthem at the British grand prix on my 2023 bingo card. What was I thinking? https://t.co/uDkitlUgyt

There is so much to consider about the Damian Lewis performance. This is my favourite bit. It’s like a slow yodel of pain. pic.twitter.com/WPllqrp5FP

It’s even worse when you find out who else was there.

Perhaps they should have used this.
As much as I like Damian Lewis, there’s only one version of the anthem for the #BritishGP 🇬🇧 🔊#RenaultF1 pic.twitter.com/DzPK39gt7e
