Formula 1 has successfully attracted new audiences in recent years, particularly with its growing presence in the United States and the popularity of the Drive to Survive series on Netflix. The challenge now lies in keeping these newer fans engaged over the long term. The 2025 Global F1 Fan Survey indicates a promising future for F1, with 94% of respondents expressing their intent to continue following the sport in the next five years. Notably, Gen Z fans, US respondents, and ‘new’ fans show even higher levels of commitment, with figures ranging from 95% to 97%. Stefano Domenicali, CEO of the Formula One Group, expressed optimism for the future of F1, highlighting upcoming changes in technology and venues. While Drive to Survive has played a significant role in attracting new fans, the survey reveals that word-of-mouth remains the primary entry point into the sport for many, demonstrating the importance of fostering a community that is here to stay.
