The Marketing Machine Behind F1 Photos

Formula One drivers are some of the most photographed athletes on the planet,

but here's what most people don't realize about their images. Every single photo

entire media teams managing their personal brand, approving which photos get posted,

editing them to perfection, and even staging candid moments that look spontaneous

but are completely calculated. Take Lewis Hamilton, for example. His Instagram aesthetic

didn't happen by accident. It's a carefully curated portfolio designed to position

him as a fashion icon and activist, not just a driver. The paddock walk photos,
