To help the formula attract a broader audience, we tell these stories in an entertaining and convincing way, which has helped take the leagues of new fans to sport, a legacy of which we are incredibly proud.

“Ultimately, driving to survive is an entertainment program, not a review of the season, and we hope to continue helping F1 to offer entertaining content in the future.”
