Way More Women Love Formula 1 Than Ever Before

For the first time in history Formula 1 says around a quarter of its current fanbase is female, growing from just 10% in 2017. The sport is currently in a massive growth phase, particularly in North America and among Gen Z viewers, and this is borne out in the data of the recent Motorsport Formula 1 Fan Survey conducted among over 100,000 self-identified F1 fans. With the sport pushing new boundaries on streaming and social media, the perception of F1 being an Old Boy's Club is diminishing. Fans now have greater access to the machinations of the F1 paddock than ever before, seemingly proving that if you break down the barriers to entry and create initiatives to promote the involvement of women in the sport like F1 Academy (42% of women surveyed follow F1 Academy) or initiatives to promote women within the staff of racing teams, the fans will follow. Formula 1 and its American owner Liberty Media have reaped the benefits with attendance and viewership records breaking seemingly every week and more sponsorship dollars than ever. Among all self-proclaimed new fans included in the survey, 3 out of 4 of them are women. This indicates to me that F1's initiatives to reach young women are working. Women in younger generations are even more enthusiastic and involved with the sport as well, with a full half of Gen Z responses coming from women fans. That Gen Z group is increasingly important for F1's growth and success as more than 70% of Gen Z respondents say they engage with F1 content every single day. This is particularly true in Liberty's home country, the United States, which is riding a wave of F1 momentum right now, accounting for the largest share of respondents from any of the 186 individual countries represented.

According to the survey, just 10% of new fans found the sport through Netflix's "Drive to Survive," while the largest driver of new fan involvement is getting involved through friends and family. Liberty's full-court-press to attract younger viewers and women to the sport is a dramatic difference from what F1 was just a decade ago. Former elderly billionaire sport owner Bernard Charles Ecclestone claimed that F1 didn't need to chase younger viewers. During a 2014 interview, Ecclestone said "We should use social media to promote F1, I just don't know how." He later offered that F1 didn't need to attract a younger audience, because "Young kids will see the Rolex brand, but are they going to go and buy one? They can't afford it." He preferred to chase an older audience because "I'd rather get to the 70-year-old guy who's got plenty of cash." Ecclestone closed his argument by telling advertisers hoping to reach a young and diverse audience to take their advertising dollars to Disney instead. In a somewhat ironic twist of fate, F1 recently inked a multi-billion dollar co-branded licensing deal with Disney, and F1 broadcasts on Walt Disney Company-owned ESPN in the U.S. Want more like this?

NHL Insider Reveals Big Update on Ducks' Mason McTavish

NHL Insider Reveals Big Update on Ducks' Mason McTavish originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Anaheim Ducks entered the offseason looking to make some big changes to the roster. While the team has added some nice pieces, they also missed out on adding any of the big three free agents on the market. Advertisement Despite being armed with a lot of cap space, Anaheim wasn't able to close the deal. The Ducks did sign Mikael Granlund, who should help provide some needed offensive spark to this team. But the Ducks also have a few restricted free agents of their own to still deal with. Both Mason McTavish and Lukas Dostal remain on the open market, and there have been all sorts of rumors that Anaheim could let other teams go after them. The two players have been key figures for Anaheim, so the timing is a little weird. But according to NHL insider Jeff Marek, both McTavish and Dostal could be subject to getting offer sheets from teams. Advertisement If the Ducks were to let either player walk, it would be terrible asset management. But in all likelihood, both players will be back with Anaheim since they can match any offer that comes in. Dostal is likely to be the starting goalie for the Ducks this season after the team traded away John Gibson. The goalie proved himself last year, and Anaheim has been excited to see what he could do as the full-time starter. As for McTavish, it seems strange that Anaheim would give up on him so soon. The former third overall pick scored 22 goals and 30 assists for the Ducks this past season. McTavish has been subject to rumors, but the Ducks do value him. However, this is a strange situation, and it will be interesting to see how Anaheim plays this moving forward.

Devils Could Trade Star Dougie Hamilton: Report

Devils Could Trade Star Dougie Hamilton: Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After making the postseason this year, the New Jersey Devils are looking for new ways to contend going forward. Injuries took hold of the Devils' core group this past season, and it limited them in terms of overall production. Advertisement But the Devils' front office understands that the team may need more talent to go after another Stanley Cup title. This could see the organization be very active this offseason, and potentially make some drastic moves to the roster. The Devils have a solid core, but the team could use some extra firepower to get over the hump. And it seems that New Jersey may have already started considering some wild moves. According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, the Devils have been dangling star defender Dougie Hamilton in trade talks. Friedman said that the Devils have been speaking with a few teams about a possible trade. Advertisement Hamilton still has three more seasons left on his contract, and he is scheduled to make $9 million each year. The Devils could be looking to get off his contract and could likely net a strong return for his services. Last season, Hamilton scored nine goals and 31 assists over 64 games. His production has continued to dip, and it may be time for New Jersey to look elsewhere on defense. While his impact has gone down, Hamilton could still be productive in the correct system. Contending teams could use his services, and the Devils may be able to net some assets for the future. It remains to be seen if the Devils will ultimately move Hamilton, but the news around the league is that he could be had for the right price.
