Nigel Mansell is impressed by the difference made to the sport as its profile increases.
Former F1 champion Nigel Mansell praises Liberty Media and the FIA for their contributions to the recent explosion of the sport. With Liberty’s acquisition of F1 in 2017, the sport became more accessible to new audiences through initiatives like Netflix docuseries Drive to Survive. This has led to record-breaking attendances at race tracks and an increased demand for new venues to be added to the calendar. The effect is particularly significant in the United States, where multiple races are now held. Mansell commends the FIA for making the cars safer, resulting in fewer accidents and injuries. He also credits Liberty for taking F1 to a new level, especially for fans in America and around the world, highlighting the explosion of interest and media coverage.
