2023 Formula 1 Power List

The 2023 Formula 1 power list is here. Paddock magazine presents its 12th 100 Most Influential People in Formula 1 list. It’s our annual register of the most influential people in the industry.

To determine the ranking, we considered more than 200 of the most influential players in Formula 1, and we evaluated their influence by using metrics in four major areas: economic power, command, newsworthiness, and impact — a subjective measure that captures how important they are in their respective positions.

We’ve gathered a team of experts in the racing business for this occasion. After much research, the team sent an online survey to motorsport professionals and then tweaked the final results.

Find out who’s hot, who’s not, and who’s new! In the words of Mark Hughes, who has helped us with the list many times: “The Top 100 is always eagerly awaited in the paddock. Everyone in Formula 1 has an ego, and those on the list are keen to remain on it, whilst those not want to get in.” Zak Brown, who has been a contributor more than once, said, “This list is entertaining to read—subjective yet entertaining and fun to debate”.
