An impressive record United States television audience of 3.6 million viewers tuned in to witness Lando Norris’ first-ever Formula 1 victory at the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday, breaking the previous record of 3.1 million viewers set by the inaugural Miami Grand Prix in 2022. This milestone solidifies Miami’s position with the top three highest live US television audiences for F1 races in history. Factors like the race being broadcasted on ABC and the strategic timing as the first North American race of the season contributed to this success. Additionally, Norris’ remarkable victory over defending champion Max Verstappen added to the excitement, with the Sprint event on Saturday also setting a new record with 946,000 average viewers on ESPN. Looking ahead, the next F1 round in Imola will be broadcast on ESPN2 as the championship returns to Europe, scheduled for 9am E.T. on Sunday, May 19th.
