A record United States television audience for a Formula 1 race tuned in the TV to watch Lando Norris’ maiden victory in the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.
ESPN has announced that the race on ABC drew an average of 3.1 million viewers for the grand prix, with viewership peaking at 3.6 million.
And now that F1 knows they can make money with TV contracts, why do they need to spend money to sell tickets to spectators?
What will happen to the F1 BS hype about making Miami a "destination"?
Or does F1 now see it as a way to advertise to millions of TV subscribers and heck with selling tickets?
