Remember when we spoke of certain individuals making the transition to mainstream media? Lewis Hamilton most definitely falls into that category. The Brit has been the love of the back pages since bursting on to the scene in 2007, and his relationship with pop culture queen Nicole Scherzinger thrust him into the spotlight even more.

On track, he is one of the most feared drivers and looks on course to win back to back Championships after a stunning drive so far. His followers are an astounding 5.33 million in 2018 and he continues to be one of sports' most influential personalities.
