The BBC has reported its best peak viewing figures for both the Monaco and Spanish GP’s for almost ten years, also taking into account ITV’s years as the official broadcaster.
The Spanish GP saw an increase of 1.2m on the 15 minute peak audience compared to 2010, as well as recording its largest viewership in the past decade of 6.2m.
The Monaco GP achieved a similar feat, reaching 6.1m viewers at its 15min peak on Sunday afternoon. This was also the races biggest audience in the past ten years, seeing an increase of 400,000 on last year.
This despite Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel running away with the championship having won five out of six races, though he has more often than not been closely followed across the finish line.
