A groundbreaking study has uncovered a seismic shift in Formula 1’s popularity, particularly among the Gen Z demographic in a major F1 market. The study, conducted by Civic Science, has revealed a staggering surge in interest in Formula 1 among Americans aged 18-29.

The research indicates that nearly half of all Americans in this age group now follow Formula 1 to some extent, marking a significant increase in the sport’s fan base in the United States. Civic Science’s survey of 1949 respondents showed that a quarter of the overall population now follows the F1 world championship either ‘somewhat’ or ‘very closely’.

A remarkable 45% of Gen Z individuals and 31% of Millennials have shown a keen interest in Formula 1, with a considerable portion of fans expressing a general interest not tied to specific drivers or teams. The study also highlighted the influence of the popular Netflix docuseries, Drive to Survive, which has played a pivotal role in attracting new fans to the sport.

Furthermore, the report delved into the characteristics of American F1 fans, revealing their inclination towards travel and even the need to replace household appliances. This growing fascination with Formula 1 in the United States has been a significant development, considering the sport’s historical struggles to establish a solid presence in the country.

The evolution of Formula 1’s popularity in the US can be partly attributed to Liberty Media’s approach, which embraced social media and engaged with fans in unprecedented ways. The organization’s efforts, coupled with the success of races in locations like Miami and Las Vegas, have contributed to enhanced television viewership for F1 events.

In light of the increasing interest in Formula 1 among American audiences, Liberty Media is actively negotiating its next broadcast deal in the US. With competitors like NASCAR and IndyCar securing lucrative broadcast agreements, Formula 1 is aiming to expand its fan base and capitalize on the sport’s growth potential in the American market.

The surge in Gen Z interest and the overall rise in Formula 1’s popularity in the United States signal a new era for the sport, with opportunities for expansion and engagement across diverse demographics. As Liberty Media seeks to solidify its presence in the US broadcasting landscape, the future of Formula 1 in America looks promising and poised for further growth.
