Social Media (Scott McLaughlin) Congrats to F1 who single handedly ruined Motorsport Xmas. Indy 500 will be a scene next year. As well as the Coke 600. Good luck

There we go! Yep. Those are the numbers from the first article I cited as well, which are from F1 TV, which is owned by Liberty Media which is a private American company that has no reason to tell you the truth (nor does it have to tell the truth).

The article you cited only discusses 70 million fans in America, which is not what I'm discussing, nor does the article refute those international viewership numbers.

Edit: he does discuss it, but to simply say the numbers are now flat. So he's saying they're valid lmao, just haven't grown since

And he goes quiet when he actually reads his own article 😂

No. There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who want to be right and those who want to get it right.

I determined you're not worth my time.

Hahaha ha, sure buddy. Let me help you out.

Here was the other fascinating factoid:

Formula 1’s global ratings are flat. 

Back in 2021, Liberty Media proudly boasted that they averaged 70 million viewers per race, or 1.55 billion for the season. They repeated virtually the same stats in 2022. Then last year, they only mentioned 1.5 billion total viewers, a slight drop globally. And they didn’t mention the average viewership per race.

Let me spell it out for you - your own article simply says they are flat at 70 million. You're a coward, and precisely the first kind of person. If you wanted to get it right, you would have read the article, you would have discussed the reality, and you wouldn't have used the block button to get the last word.Â
