100 Most Influential People in F1, 2017

2017 F1 power List

2017 – Paddock magazine presents the seventh 100 Most Influential People in Formula 1 list. It’s our very own annual register of the most powerful people in the industry.

This year the subject of influence in Formula 1 is as sensitive as ever. Everyone has a take, everyone has an angle, and let’s be honest here, everyone enjoys rating people once in a while.

We’ve gathered a team of experts of the racing business for this occasion: after a lot of research, the team published an online survey for motorsport professionals and then tweaked the final results.

The ones to watch:

 Alejandro Agag – could it be that the captain of Formula E will have a growing influence on how things will turn out for Formula 1 in the coming years?

 Karun Chandhok – expert analyst, Official Williams Heritage Driver, former Formula 1, Formula E and GP2 racer, sought-after opinion former.

 Paul Hembery – now out of the list and occupying a new position at Pirelli, Paul could be back anytime as he’s the one who guided the tyre manufacturer’s return to Formula 1.
