Poll results

Earlier this year, a survey was conducted among Formula 1 fans, and the results have just been released

You can find them over at http://journal.autosport.com/2010/we...%20results.pdf

The geographic distribution is quite interesting (though perhaps not entirely surprising). But what’s even more fascinating is that, on average, Americans actually have the longest history of following Formula 1

As for the rest of the statistics, they are more or less predictable; if you're the type who enjoys reading every single detail until the very end, then 😉

I always find it fascinating to look back at the survey results I’ve been part of. 👍

To me, the current situation in the States makes perfect sense. In the USA, Formula 1 isn't exactly a mainstream phenomenon; it's mostly followed by a dedicated niche. Contrast that with a place like Brazil, where sports fans are passionate about everything, including Formula 1. Because of that, racing enthusiasts in those regions tend to be incredibly loyal—that core > demographic, much like our own community here on the forum. If the percentage of racing fans in the USA were significantly higher relative to the total population, we would likely see a much larger group of casual observers who only tune in occasionally.

When is someone actually going to run a poll on how much polling totally sucks?😁

As for the rest of the statistics, they are more or less predictable—though I suppose it's up to the reader to decide if they're worth finishing.😉

When we say the Americas, we mean Canada, the USA, Mexico, and all of South America, led by Brazil... so, what exactly is the mystery there?

I mean, really? Is that seriously your take? 😉
