In the editorial team’s top 5, we share with you what stood out for us this 2020 season. And there is no doubt, judging by Canal+’s 2020 ratings, that you appreciated it as well, if not watched it.<\/p>\n
On average, each Grand Prix was watched by nearly one million viewers. This includes live figures as well as replays. This statistic is up 27% compared to 2019.<\/p>\n
The Bahrain Grand Prix was the most watched on average with 1.18 million viewers. It was also an eventful Grand Prix with Romain Grosjean’s crash.<\/p>\n
1.24 million, that’s the number of simultaneous viewers on Canal+ to watch Pierre Gasly’s victory at the Italian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
These figures show that many people are interested in Formula 1 without necessarily watching it on television. However, if they hear through social media or other means that an event is happening at the Grand Prix, they don’t hesitate to connect.<\/p>\n
In 2012, when Formula 1 was broadcast on TF1, the average audience was 1.6 million viewers. The F1 audience was divided by four when it switched to Canal+, reaching only 400,000 spectators. Therefore, the progress of the encrypted channel since 2013 is noteworthy.<\/p>\n
The numerous exclusive reports and the presence of the dynamic duo Julien F\u00e9breau and Jacques Villeneuve are undoubtedly not unrelated to this.<\/p>\n
Canal+ remains the broadcaster of F1 in 2021 and 2022 before a new call for tenders for 2023.<\/p>\n
