Lewis Hamilton remains the F1 king of social media.
If there is one takeaway from that list, it is that Lewis Hamilton’s social media supremacy is unmatched in the world of Formula 1. His total followers is almost three times that of second-placed Max Verstappen and he has more Instagram followers than every team on the grid.
Given his large following, Hamilton could stand to make significant money should he choose to advertise but to his credit, he has not chosen to go down this path.
