JA on F1 podcast: Examining the Global F1 Fan Survey results

This week we get behind the numbers to find out what fans think of Formula 1, as the 2025 Global F1 Fan Survey is launched, ahead of the British Grand Prix.

Over 100,000 respondents took part from 186 countries. Fans were self-selecting, so this isn’t a complete picture of all F1 fans worldwide, but what it does show is that F1 is managing the juggling act of attracting new audiences, while keeping its long-standing supporters on board. And the responses show there is quite a bit of common ground between the two cohorts, not least that the sporting product of F1 is the most important element for both.

We also look at the box office numbers for the opening weekend of F1 The Movie and ask what it means for the championship.

And we’ll hear from the newest team principal on the grid, Graeme Lowdon, about why Cadillac will be operating out of both the US and the UK when it enters F1 next season. You can watch the full YouTube video on the Autosport YouTube Channel.

Joining James Allen in the studio to talk through all of these topics are Motorsport.com’s Editor-in-Chief Ben Hunt and F1 writer Emily Selleck.
