I’m a big fan of Formula 1 🏎️ and this meme hit me in the feels♥️
Lewis Hamilton has mastered personal branding on socials over the years, and his move to Ferrari made that even more clear.
But I’ve got a soft spot for Carlos Sainz, so seeing these posts side by side got me wondering…
💭 How many MORE Instagram followers does Hamilton have than Sainz?
Turns out, it was less than I expected.
Here’s how the 2025 grid stacks up on Instagram:
🔴 Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) – 39M
🔴 Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) – 17.5M
🔵 Max Verstapen (Red Bull) – 13.5M
🔵 Carlos Sainz (Williams) – 11M
🟠 Lando Norris (McLaren) – 9.4M
🟢 Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) – 7.3M
⚪ George Russell (Mercedes) – 6.2M
🔵 Pierre GASLY (Alpine) – 5.5M
🟠 Oscar Piastri (McLaren) – 3.2M
🔵 Alex Albon (Williams) – 3M
🔴 Yuki Tsunoda (Racing Bulls) – 2.6M
⚫ Esteban Ocon (Haas) – 2.5M
🟢 Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) – 1.4M
⚪ Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) – 1.1M
🔵 Liam Lawson (Red Bull) – 0.9M
Any of these surprise you?
What if I told you Daniel Ricciardo has 9.5M followers?
I’d love to know what you think! (and how you think Ferrari will go this year).
