Formula 1 are growing their audience

Formula 1 have been successful in reaching a bigger audience with more people interacting with the sport. 

Formula 1's television numbers raised by 10% from 2017 to 2018 according to the sports promoters. 490.2 million people are thought to have watched the sport last year. 

Audiences in Brazil, Italy and Germany were the biggest with the most watched race being Monaco Grand Prix which had 110 million viewers. 

Formula 1 has also seen an increase in the followers they have on social media sites. 

Next year fans in the UK will have to get Sky F1 if they want live coverage of all races as only the British Grand Prix will be broadcast on free to air television. 

It is positive that more people are watching Formula 1 around the world and hopefully it will continue to grow over the years.
