Drive to thrive: Formula One is booming with Netflix drawing in new fans… as Silverstone welcomed 401,000 fans compared to 345,694 back in 2019 and the US’ TV audience hit new heights!

Other bits were hellish: the extravagant form-filling, and, in my case, more than 250 Covid tests, mostly timed to comply with the jurisdictions you were travelling to. Across the first 11 of the 13 races, using the latest collated figures, a total of 2,481,031 people attended races, up 22 per cent on the first 11 races of 2019, the last Covid-free yardstick. The US TV audience has accelerated to 39 per cent beyond the 2018 figure. A younger one (average age down from 39 to 37 in 2017) and a more female one (40 per cent, up eight per cent points since 2017). You now see a girl in her teens going to races with her dad. This season has been lively, with some good races and a couple of big accidents, even if we have been denied for now the Max-Lewis rematch.
