It’s actually clashing on the last day of the winter testing in Bahrain. Thus, giving a jam-packed day for the F1 fans. Luckily, it’s a weekend, and fans can enjoy it without any worries in their professional life.
Surely it would be the perfect head start for the F1 fans as it will bring them back into the mood to be excited about the new season. Though, every year this is the same timeline.
Time to welcome new F1 fans?
With every new DTS season, the number of fans has multiplied. Multiple reports have confirmed it. The biggest success has been in the United States. F1 has been trying to extract something from their wealthy sports market for decades.
But it never got so much success. But in 2019, when its first season dropped. F1 saw an unprecedented rise in the US. Fast forward to 2023, and they have three races scheduled over there. Only 11 years ago, they were struggling to keep up with one.
So, in all probability, the older F1 fans will have to see a new wave of fans. Surely it would only enhance the finances of the sport. On 25th February, we have to wait for all the drama.
