Lewis Hamilton – Age 38

“Formula One” has its many talented racers, but nothing quite like Lewis Hamilton, who propelled the sport to center stage with his massive global following. Hamilton has scored seven “World Driver’s Championship” titles and an impressive career beyond the racing scene.

Before racing with the big boys, Hamilton was the youngest “British Cadet Karting Champion” at age 10. He became an official “Formula One” driver in 2002 and even dominated the competition in the “Euro Series.” In his 30s, Hamilton has landed “Forbes Richest Athletes” and “Time” magazine’s most influential people, reaching further heights with his exploits in social activism, music, and fashion.
