- 41% of the fanbase is female vs 37% in 2018
- 16-24-year-old females is the fastest growing age sector

The above is part of the reason F1 has been so attractive commercially

Franco’s health is all that matters and we are glad he is otherwise okay. We will provide further updates when we can.

Williams statement: During Qualifying Franco sustained a significant impact of over 50G, requiring a medical check up. An impact of this magnitude is obviously significant and severe and he will need to be evaluated again tomorrow before we will know whether he is clear to race.

George Russell asked to be the last car on track in Q3, knowing the circuit would ramp up, and duly delivered pole.

Several at Williams were hugely concerned earlier today about the prospect of another crash, and Colapinto’s huge hit here will be another costly issue, likely meaning even older specifications will be required. Vegas aside, still two races of this triple header to go. Awful timing.

A hefty repair bill for Williams in #F1 2024:

Sergio Perez out in Q1, along with Fernando Alonso, Alex Albon, Valtteri Bottas and Lance Stroll

He will get a lap in

Lance Stroll had an energy recovery system failure during FP3 at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Aston Martin are still working hard to change the ERS pack and get him out on track for Q1.
