I got this statistic from a Fast Lane Daily podcast that took place somewhere in 2011.
To paraphrase what one of the guys were saying, he said that only 15 per cent of the American population are fans of F1 racing.
Out of an estimated population of 313,172,000, only 46,975,800. For some of you who live outside the U.S., the F1 fans here may outpopulate your country.
I don't really know about other regions of the U.S., but, in the Southeast, most people follow NASCAR, which, I don't really watch unless they race at Infineon and Watkins Glen. If you ask them or talk to them about F1, they might say the following:
"What's F1?" or "What's Formula One?"
"What kind of cars are they?"
"When do they usually race?"
"Where do they race?"
The list goes on...
