Viewers of Nuts TV Sports News were asked to rate drivers from past and present in a variety of categories, including their success with women, their champagne lifestyle and their sense of style.
And Hamilton, 23, came out on top in all three categories, thanks largely to continued speculation linking him to Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger.
In the past, the young Briton has also been linked with Naomi Campbell, Danni Minogue and Vivian Burkhardt, a former Miss World runner-up.
However, the same poll revealed that F1 fans still think Hamilton has some work to do in terms of driving before he is on a par with his hero Ayrton Senna and seven-time former champion Michael Schumacher.
Both of these men came above Hamilton when people were asked to rate drivers according to their on-track abilities, with the young Briton finishing third.
Joe Talbot, director of programming at Nuts TV, commented: “Lewis is a real hero for our viewers.
“He’s a star on the track, and after pulling a Pussycat Doll, obviously a star with the women too. No wonder he is one of the top sports idols of recent years.
