And in what world is F1 the most watched sport? Ever heard of football? And what exactly did Senna bring up?

Exactly what I said. Obviously I am not a F1 driver so I can only repeat what the drivers say. |

I think football has more events per year that score higher numbers than all the f1 races. And I think that a grand slam tournament also get higher ratings than a f1 race. F1 is the most viewed motorsport, but it'll probably have to struggle to get into the top 5 of most viewed sports, with football being the no.1 by FAR. Quote:
Got a link to that quote? Or do you mean something else, because you said a lot of things.

That's my opinion but like I said you're entitled to your own opinion. "So much of F1 cars are controlled by computer. If you got a monkey computer you're in trouble" Ayrton Senna. |

Whats your point? Quote:
And when and where exactly did he say that? Just to verify that quote. And also I dont see how that quote relates to your initial point, that the computers in the f1 cars are the reason that its difficult to get 'into F1' and that you cant relate to the drivers. Imho al that that quote says is that if a computer fails, your car fails, whatever monkey computer means .

The 2018 fifa wc final had 1.12 billion views (which are all unique viewers). https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/m...2018-world-cup So the best viewed football match (yes, 1 match) has almost 2,5 times as much unique views as a complete annual f1 season. Except for in the US, in virtually every other country in the world its by far the most popular sport to watch. The best watched F1 grand prix (monaco) only has about 110million views. The average views on a fifa wc match (so 64 in total, so also all the ) is 191 million. Thats over 70% more views average compared to the best viewed F1 match... Really, its no comparison. And the total global views counting european championchips, uefa etc etc makes it infinately bigger. The football world is huge, by far the most popular sport on earth in every way you measure it.

I'm sure that things like advertizing costs etc make those comparisons based on unique views etc etc. A viewer is a viewer: a person sitting in front of his TV But I can imagine that its hard for an american to understand how popular football is in the world as football plays virtually no role in US society (and in that way the US is quite unique) And stating that F1 is "the most watched sport in the world" (westrace's original statement, which started this discussion) is just a bit silly imho. It's the most watched motorsport in the world, but not the most watched sport in the world. Thats football.

And as far as your very condescending remark about Americans and soccer, I played club ball from the time I was 10 until I was 25 and turned down multiple university scholarships to play midfield and defenseman. We have a pretty strong soccer culture here and it nicely augments our locally created sports. Cheers-mk

The premier league is a UK national league! https://www.premierleague.com/ How does a championship that is held in 1 country make a fair comparison to a global championship?!? And the olympics are what? 30 sports together? Why compare that with 1 sport? And this is about F1 compared to football. 1 sport to another. But you want to break it down to that yes, in 1 country there are less viewers to 1 sport than there are global viewers to another sport. Yes you're completely right. A national football match in a country with 60 million citizens doesn't get the amount of views as a world champoinship F1 match with what? 7 billion global citizens... Quote:

IndyCar built for high speed just enough downforce and they dont have the half of the mechanical grip that F1 has.. not surprising..
and for track record.. no track limits for Indy and there is no refueling anymore in F1.. not sure Indy does it still though.. |

then it means Indy is not even trying to save fuel that much and they re lighter on track most of the time.. F1 is trying to save fuel and heavier most of the time since they have to finish the race without refueling..

F1 is the pinnacle of racing technology, a top teams budget is more then likely more than the entire Indycar field combine. F1 cars are simply superior in every single way. No contest! |
