Formula 1
ABC averaged 1.3M viewers (peak 1.5M) for the race portion of the USGP in Austin, up 11.1% from 1.170 million viewers in 2023. This is an excellent result for F1 that was up against the NASCAR race in Las Vegas and the Sunday NFL games.
18-49 year old viewers accounted for 41% of the TV audience – a solid number that advertisers are interested in, and much higher than NASCAR and IndyCar, which are always under 20%.
The 2024 F1 season average on ABC/platforms is up 3% over full ’23 season
