Where does Lewis Hamilton rank in worlds most famous athletes?

He is definitely more famous in the world than Brady and Tiger

I can't stand LeBron, but no way this dude is more famous than that arrogant bastard.

It’d be higher if he weren’t such a douche

Well if you want to know if he transcends sports, I’ve never heard of him and I could tell you plenty about the others on that list

If we’re including Ali, then we have to include other athletes who have died and that list gets even bigger.

Since Jordan is in your list, then we have to include other living athletes who have long since retired.

There’s no way Hamilton is ahead of
1. Jordan
2. Ali
3. Pele
4. Maradona
5. Ronaldo
6. Messi
7. LeBron

I would also say he is definitely behind
8. Kobe
9. Federer
10. Nadal
11. Tiger

And probably behind
12. Brady
13. Usain Bolt
14. Michael Phelps

1-4 and 8 may or may not count based on your criteria.

Then there are a lot of people who I think are harder to gauge but probably close (in either direction) like Durant, Giannis, Neymar, etc.

He’s not an athlete

Brady doesn't belong.

But that is counting total viewership and individual race viewership is peaking at around 100 million.

Yeah but it moves around the world to different audiences

The Masters had under 10 million viewers last year in the US and a couple million elsewhere

The F1 number is just an internal marketing spin figure.

They take their average weekly number and multiply by the number of races. 70 million in a week, 22 races. 1.54 billion.

Clearly that is a nonsense number and the same methodology would have many more Americans watching NFL games in a year than simply exist.

Brady isn't even more famous than Shaq in the US.
