Which Formula 1 races are the best attended on the current calendar? Learn more about F1 attendance figures at recent races.
The British, Australian and United States Grands Prix consistently rank as the best-attended Formula 1 races each year. The 1995 Australian Grand Prix, in Adelaide, remains the best-attended F1 race weekend on record, while the 2000 United States Grand Prix – the first F1 race staged at Indianapolis Motor Speedway – holds the top spot for the largest single day attendance figure.
Attendances at Formula 1 races have grown substantially over the past decade. Around 3.5 million fans attended in total over the 19 races held in the 2015 season. That figure grew steadily until 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic meant that most races took place behind closed doors.
Fans began to return to the race track in the showstopping 2021 season and, thanks to the sport’s global rising popularity as a result of Netflix’s Drive To Survive, total attendance in 2022 – the first year that circuits were fully open to fans since the pandemic – boomed to 5.7 million. The attendance growth continues, albeit at a steadier rate, with the yearly total reaching 6 million for the first time in 2023 and rising to 6.5 million in 2024.
It should be noted that the methodology for calculating spectator numbers at each event is not disclosed. At all events, the weekend attendance is the total sum of spectators who attended over the event weekend. That means that fans who attended all three days are counted three times. Some circuits allegedly include operating staff and competitors within their total figures. It’s also worth noting that some events – like the Australian and British Grands Prix – run for four days, rather than the traditional three. Read more: What is the Capacity of Each Formula 1 Venue?
