Liberty Media took on Formula 1 in 2017 and its value has grown significantly in that time, with the success of Netflix docuseriesbeing credited as a big reason behind a growing audience in the United States and beyond.

With a reported $20bn bid for the sport from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund having come in, this represents a 15% increase on the Forbes valuation of Formula 1.: “Formula 1 had a banner 2022, averaging 1.21 million viewers across the ESPN family of networks, the highest on record for the series, and signed a new television deal in June reportedly worth at least $75 million a year, 15 times its previous deal.
