Britain also has representation on the list, with F1 driver Russell being named after joining Mercedes last year. “George Russell joined Formula One powerhouse Mercedes in 2022 and finished ahead of teammate and seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, placing fourth overall in the F1 driver standings for the season and notching his first victory. In 2021 he was elected Director of the Grand Prix Drivers Association, the trade union of F1 drivers,” Forbes said of the 25-year-old.
And Alcaraz isn’t the only tennis star on the list, as Dutch wheelchair pro Diede de Groot has also made an appearance after completing the Calendar Grand Slam in back-to-back seasons in 2021 and 2022. “Diede De Groot is the No 1 women’s wheelchair tennis player in the International Tennis Federation rankings. She followed up her first Paralympic singles gold with two consecutive Golden Slams in 2021 and 2022, winning the French, Australian and US Open plus Wimbledon in both years, and has won 17 Grand Slams overall. She was born with unequal leg length,” Forbes said of the 26-year-old.
