The F1 movie released this summer proved to be a financial success, surpassing Brad Pitt’s box office record for any of his previous projects, and it has significantly impacted the sport as a company. The Formula One Group, owned by Liberty Media, experienced a one-time revenue increase and a 40 per cent rise in revenue year-over-year to reach $1 billion, with a boost in revenue and global cultural reach of the sport. The positive effects included a rise in F1 TV subscriptions, indicating the movie’s cultural impact on the sport, as mentioned by Formula 1 president Stefano Domenicali during Liberty Media’s recent earnings call. The blockbuster hit has not only boosted the sport’s economic input but also provides an opportunity for tremendous growth in awareness and revenue generation. As ‘F1’ continues to dominate the global box office, surpassing $545m, and generates increasing interest in the sport, Liberty Media plans to further expand by tapping into projects such as MotoGP to enhance the championship’s global presence and revenue diversity.
