People’s magazine recently announced Chris Evans as 2022’s Sexiest Man Alive. There are plenty of good-looking men in Formula 1 and neither of them made it to the top 10 list. This had fans demanding for the next Sexiest Man Alive to be awarded to an F1 personality. And no, it’s not Lewis Hamilton.

The current breed of F1 drivers is among the fittest athletes out there. As the sport is progressing and getting ever so competitive, drivers need to not just keep their weight in check, but also work on their strength. The training and nutritional regime they follow is extremely tough to keep committed to.

This man beat Lewis Hamilton to F1’s Sexiest Man Alive

7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, since 2017 has functioned on a plant-based diet. When it comes to the protein requirement of a professional athlete, many consider a vegan diet to not be as effective as the traditional one. Hamilton has proven it to be a myth and at 37, is in the best shape he’s ever been. While not all drivers follow a similar dietary regime as he does, they are all in their best shape. This made fans wonder why none of them made it to the list.

While many netizens wanted Lewis to be chosen as the sexiest man, he faced some tough competition from Daniel Ricciardo and Charles Leclerc.

“Annoyance On Myself”: Toto Wolff Takes the Blame Amid Lewis Hamilton-Mercedes 2022 Pains

Yes, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff is F1 fans’ choice for the Sexiest Man. The 50-year-old Austrian is 1.96 m tall, is in great shape, and is the most successful team boss in the paddocks right now. The Mercedes man may be a billionaire now, but he has an inspiring origin story.

Toto Wolff and his rags to riches story

Toto lost his father when he was a young teenager. Living in a well-to-do neighborhood with not much money at home, life was difficult. Young Toto had to get himself into some odd jobs that he found “embarrassing”.

In an interview with Sky Sports’ Simon Lazenby, Toto revealed, “I had to wear a golden cape, I painted my face gold and I had to give away leaflets for the local electronics shops.” He continued, “It was so embarrassing because people recognized me. I remember that was really bad, but I pushed through, I really needed the money.”

After a relatively unsuccessful stint in motorsports, Wolff took to the field of finance. He started out by taking over bankrupt companies and making profits off of them. He later partnered with Frank Williams in F1. That was his gateway into the pinnacle of motorsports. Today he has a stake in the Mercedes F1 team and is working his dream job that is a combination of his two passions- motorsports and finance.
