The British Greater Formula 1 company presented the path last weekend, as Lando Norris won his first victory at home, and Niko Holkonberg arrived at the platform for the first time in 239 starting from F1.
He also presented another “breaking the record” number to cover ESPN.
According to the network, the average broadcast in the Grand Prix in ESPN2 was 1.5 million viewers, at 19 % for broadcasting last year and the largest audience ever for the race on American TV. Those viewers reached their climax at 1.8 million soon as Norris took the volatile flag.
These numbers are compatible with what the network describes as a “standard watching season”, as 11 out of 12 races so far this season “growth throughout the year”, and seven of the 12 races have placed scenes records. ** **
This year’s grand prize race this year did not exceed last year.
The Great Monaco race this year was also The third largest audience Ever to the F1 race in the United States.
ESPN indicated that F1 races are 1.3 million viewers, an increase of 17 % over the average season of 2024. In the 18-49 age group, the number of viewers increased by 24 % from the average season of 2024.
These numbers come at a time when the ESPN contract with F1 expires at the end of the 2025 campaign, and sport considers potential media rights partners in the United States market.
Note: Reverse the original version of the ESPN 11 races, but the network released the correctly corrected version update data.
