All-time attendance record for an F1 weekend in Austin

It’s hard to imagine that a year ago, the Grand Prix took place without even the sigh of a spectator.

With the progress of vaccination against Covid-19 and the lifting of many health restrictions, spectators were able to return to the circuits.

A total of 400,000 spectators gathered throughout the weekend. Never seen since the pandemic, never seen before.

But the health field is not (by far) the only factor in the incredible influx seen in Texas. The exciting title fight between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton seems to have revived a strong interest in Formula 1.

At 6 races to go, the two men are only separated by 12 points, while 150 are still distributable.

In the United States, F1 has certainly benefited from a Netflix effect so that the premier class regains its letters of nobility in the eyes of the public.

What if we headed for a tenfold Sergio Pérez effect in Mexico City, in two weeks? The Red Bull boy n ° 11, at home, will be keen to make the stadium scream.
