KJR1959 (@kjr1959) 17th January 2016, 17:12, I only have to see Ecclestone wandering around the pit lane waiting for the TV reporters to see why I no longer have an interest in this sham of a sport.
@keithcollantine I actually posted my vote under ‘Rise of alternative championships’.

Let’s push the sport truly into the future. Tim Kemp (@timk22) 20th January 2016, 12:16. Do any of you remember Ronnie Peterson coming into the old Woodcote waving both fists at “Black” Jack Brabham? Viewers per race would be useful, since clearly a lot of these are people tuning in every race, especially for 2008: 2008 – 600 million viewers across 18 races – 33.333 million viewers per race 2009 – 520 million viewers across 17 races – 30.588 million viewers per race 2010 – 527 million viewers across 19 races – 27.737 million viewers per race 2011 – 515 million viewers across 19 races – 27.105 million viewers per race 2012 – 500 million viewers across 20 races – 26.316 million viewers per race 2013 – 450 million viewers across 19 races – 23.684 million viewers per race 2014 – 425 million viewers across 19 races – 22.368 million viewers per race. Red Bull now go to great lengths to try and get people to visit “their” race. This time, however, the justification -- to focus on zero-emission technology such as fuel cells and batteries -- feels more significant. They incessantly use cameras looking down the straight as the car approaches.

I love watching f1 due to the skill and talent of the drivers.

Or when Hamilton fell to the back in Brazil? Yay :). But I do want a proper competition and a level playing field. © 2020 Collantine Media Ltd | About RaceFans.

I’ll never forget the goose bumps I got from driving to the track and hearing the cars underway in FP 1 shrieking from 2 miles away.

Do you think F1 has to be environmentally friendly? This favors docu-series, as they have multiple instalments, and Drive to Survive is evidence of this. Which of the following would give you more insight into F1?

I think it’s safe to say he can drive a car. 1602429523 This year I can finally afford it for myself. Lastly, if the racing is closer then a few more million will suddenly start watching.

One of the challenges of action sports is the need to grow the ‘spectacle’ of the whole thing.

Sadly, F1 management – and yes, I mean Bernie – has been far too short-sighted when it comes to the actual growth of the sport and too focused on the immediate financial benefit for those involved. As always it’s good to see a healthy debate going on. Because LM P1 has ’em. Lack of (free) live TV coverage which makes it hard to follow from one race to the next. We don’t need token system. The new racing format, which features game-like elements such as “Fanboost” and “Attack Mode” (unique to electric car racing thanks to programmable power boosts), is also attracting more and more interest from Formula One drivers and legacy racing carmakers.

For me it is that F1 used to be a sport that happend to also be entertainment, now days it is treated as entertainment that happens to be a sport. I don’t like that behavior, but I can’t say it isn’t effective, if F1 had more drivers like Lewis on the grid things would start to change. Watching a football match is much simpler, cheaper, and however far from the pitch you can be you see the whole game, not just the corner your grandstand is at. F1 staff shouldn’t complain about 21 races – Todt, Become a RaceFans Supporter and go ad-free, Ricciardo will hold Abiteboul to tattoo bet after breakthrough podium, Hamilton thought he’d never get “anywhere near” Schumacher’s win record, Albon given two penalty points for collision with Kvyat, Hamilton equals Schumacher’s 91 wins record with Nurburgring triumph, 2020 Eifel Grand Prix championship points, Raikkonen handed two penalty points for “avoidable” collision with Russell, Bottas expected to resume Hamilton fight before retirement, threats to events such as those in Germany and Italy, increasingly seem to have come from the same template, somewhat less raucous than their predecessors, Formula One lap times have tended to increase since around 2005, often the case due to the need to conserve fuel, given its new Formula E championship a big push. – Ditch DRS and made to degrade tyres.

At the moment, I would therefore argue that the only factor which has been demonstrably proven to have a significant long term impact is the switch from free to air to pay TV.

This affects nearly all the other elements to some degree, but I suspect has no direct effect on the viewing figure drop.

(in f1 as well as fe). FlyingLobster27 17th January 2016, 16:40. Better to watch others racing categories already included on my cable service or on free-aired TV. This is, in some ways, quite complicated. F1, Sainz left "suffering" due to new aero package

The main problem is that fans of F1 are treated as disposable cash dispensers. nose however, will always looks ugly and doesn’t make the cars look fast.

As the table below shows, it was beaten by a number of documentary films including Homecoming, which charts Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella performance, and FYRE, the inside story of the ill-fated festival.

These include the Drag Reduction System – a quantity-over-quality ‘solution’ to the difficulties of overtaking – plus designed-to-degrade tyres. Every sport has its problems and challenges. I don’t have a good handle of the age and income demographic of F1 fans, but my instinctive guess is that it’s predominately wealthy, middle-age men (£50k+, 45yo+). It s slow as f.. Tell that to Keith. Ian Stephens (@ians) 18th January 2016, 0:32.

Alexander Albon believes the updates Red Bull brought to the Nurburgring for its RB16 Formula 1 car have drawn the team "a lot closer" to Mercedes Also don’t forget that although most casual F1 fans that I used to talk with at school ten years ago enjoy the sport, they would not be willing to pay so much additional money to buy it. I’d also like to offer something else, something I only thought of after watching Star Wars. Take the F1 Strategy Working Group, a group that has a lot of power, yet they agreed on things like Abu Double and partially banning team radio, before criticising their own decision just a few months later. Not just other motorsport, or even other sport… people have so many more options of where to direct their attention these days, a TV-based racing series would be expected to lose viewers. Teams and fans simply aren’t connecting as well to each other.

Since 2013 I have been watching the WEC and I must say I am a fan, the cars look better, the racing is better. I think something as basic as camerawork is partly responsible for F1 not looking as fast or exciting as it did a few years ago.

Again, perhaps only dedicated fans can tell the difference – or perhaps the fact drivers are operating so far within themselves is why races tend to be undramatic. Make it easier for the cars to follow each other would be one of them. Messi debuted for Barcelona at the age of 17.

Drivers should manage ERS instead of a program (as they used KERS earlier) and we need less radio data from pit to drivers (maybe only safety reasons). The only motorsport with higher viewing figures than F1 is NASCAR, and those are similar to road cars in the same way that cheese is similar to broccoli. I’m not including you in this Keith.

Having uncertainty because the 2nd fastest car might have a new upgrade in the next race is great too, so unlimited engine improvements and aero improvements throughout the year please, sticking within the agreed budget of course. This stuff is rarely brought up by anybody, I think it’s a huge issue affecting how the sport comes across in TV footage.

When I say slow cars I mostly refer to what was said in the article: or perhaps the fact drivers are operating so far within themselves is why races tend to be undramatic. @noonebetter, Ha ! Actually the thinly-populated race day pit straight grandstand is the reason that picture was chosen. Greg Kingston (@gregkingston) 17th January 2016, 20:46. In the article (after showing declining TV/Internet popularity graphs) he clearly states: “If we accept there is an underlying decline in F1’s popularity, how do we explain it? It’s contributing to the single “right” techonological solution and also a loss of direction in F1, as psuedopoliticians forget what they are trying to achieve.

For what it’s worth here are some of my views :). (2015 does not count; although Ferrari improved a lot over 2014, they never looked like they were going to take the fight to Mercedes for the full season). We are outliers. why why why! But complex new superlicence restrictions provided another example of regulations being used as the ‘solution’ for everything. The casual viewer. In terms of unique viewers, during 2018 the sport once again had an improvement globally (+10%), reaching 490.2m. What the hell did they do to the last sector? I think F1 could greatly benefit from embracing new distribution methods but it simply won’t/can’t due to how it makes money on TV rights. The result is cars which are visibly not being driving to the limit during grands prix – which is often the case due to the need to conserve fuel or look after the car.

The drop in the TV audience has been affected by the above but the switch from terrestrial Tv to pay is a massive factor in the drop in audience figures. I don’t own a television but I’d love to watch the races on my computer, whenever I please. Sadly many of the older generation have fallen for this, and think of it quite literally. 1602424632 Was the verdict against Racing Point correct? These attract millions if not billions of people. He wants that those who watch pay more.

Otherwise all the pressure is on fundraising and the product is trimmed as a consequence (this was notable from both British broadcasters in 2015). I would gladly, gladly pay for some sort of standalone commercial-free viewing service like what WEC offersr. There are other factors at play, too — the artificiality is testing the faith of the older fans, while over-regulation makes it too inaccessible to newer fans.

Now, if you are Rosberg in SPA-2011, you lose your first position in two laps, simply because the other guy presses the button.
