The Formula One fandom takes great pride in their unwavering loyalty to one team or driver that they have supported for YEARS on end. There are the Tifosi who would quite literally delete themselves before supporting any team that isn’t Ferrari, and there are the Verstappen fans who would defend him like their lives depended on it and have his back no matter what he says or does. But what if we set the racing and strategies aside and focus on the other aspect that most of these drivers are renowned for: their outrageously good looks.
Let’s face it, these drivers are ATTRACTIVE. Winning races and stealing hearts, these men are at the top of their game! And bless all their training and exercise because those bodies are just *chefs kiss*. That being said, we decided to ask a few F1 fans in our office to rate our list of top 10 favorite F1 drivers, from most good looking, to not so good looking – will they still choose drivers from their favourite team?
*Disclaimer: rankings are based solely on looks and have nothing to do with their actual racing skills*
Here’s our ranking of hottest to not:
1. Charles Leclerc
Is anyone surprised? Ferrari’s pretty boy driver Charles Leclerc, is of course number 1 when it comes to most good looking. He may not be winning any races right now, but his good looks and charisma easily wins him a place in our all hearts for sure <3
You’ve probably gotten a thirst edit of him on your For You Page or someone you know and don’t say you didn’t enjoy it.
2. Carlos Sainz
Ah yes, Mr. smoothhh operatorrrrrr comes in second place – would’ve been first place if it was “F1 drivers who look like a Spanish prince straight out of a fairytale” though. Carlos Sainz is another one of Ferrari’s drivers, known for his charmingly good looks and one-of-a-kind personality. He’s an all-round stunner and he DEFINITELY knows it.
3. Lando Norris
Taking the podium finish with third place is another one of the pretty boys, the golden retriever of the group, Lando Norris! He’s like the senior you always have a crush on in high school, so it’s no surprise why he’s a favourite amongst the ladies!
4. Lewis Hamilton
Now, seven-time world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton needs no introduction – he’s a knight in shining armour and which woman (and gay!) doesn’t love that? Not to mention those tattoos and piercings!
5. Pierre Gasly
Pierre the Frenchman that also gives us young Wolverine vibes (kinda) takes 5th place for most attractive. He has good structure to his face and a hot accent – 5th is a fair rank.
6. Fernando Alonso
Now if we had done this ranking 13 years ago when he was still driving for Ferrari, he would unquestionably be in the top 3 – we’re not saying he’s ugly though, hell nah! He’s A HUNDRED PERCENT dilf material, but the women in our office just seem to favour the younger, pretty boys.
7. Max Verstappen
Hmm 7th place… reminiscent of Singapore last year, isn’t it? Okay that’s besides the point, just wanted to troll the Redbull fans a little. Look, he’s an excellent driver, there’s no denying that, but good looking? Yeah, maybe not. We’re not saying he’s ugly but well, MOST of his competitors are just better looking, that’s all!
8. George Russell
Now Georgey boy here is difficult to rank cuz you either LOVE how he looks, or not at all – he’s got very pretty blue eyes and some drool-worthy shirtless pics on Insta though, we’ll give him that!
9. Sergio Perez
Another one of the older drivers, taking second-last place, is Checo and it’s honestly disappointing how low he was ranked by many of our colleagues in the office. He may be second-last on this physical attractiveness rank, but he’s definitely not ANYWHERE near last place on the actual track, especially this season!
10. Valteri Bottas
This was honestly heart-breaking. To actual F1 watchers Bottas is one of the most wholesome drivers, with the funniest TikToks – however to non F1 watchers, he’s just an old guy with a mullet and mustache that apparently no one likes, thus his last place rank on our hottest to not rank.
Well, there you have it folks, that concludes our top 10 favorite F1 drivers of this season ranked by us! Again, this has nothing to do with their actual racing skills or personality, everything was solely based on looks!
