The Formula 1 crowd is changing. More than ever before, young people are tuning in and turning up to follow the thrills and dramas of motorsport’s most famous competition. Attendances are skyrocketing, with the 2022 Australian Grand Prix seeing over 420,000 people visit the circuit over the course of the race weekend – a record for any sporting event in the country’s history.
After years of disruptions and cancellations, it is unsurprising that Formula 1 fans are keen to get back to their favourite circuits. Several Grand Prix events sold out their first ticket releases within hours, and attendance records look set to be broken once again when the full figures from the 2022 season are released.
Fans yet to purchase their tickets for this year’s slate of races should not despair. More than halfway through the season, there are still many Grand Prix events to come before the World Champion is officially crowned. Although lots of tickets have been snapped up early, several races still have some availability. Act quickly to make sure you don’t miss out on one of the most popular seasons this iconic championship has ever seen!
