With more sports fans streaming content than ever before, teams and leagues have been forced to change their approach to distribution based on consumer habits. Formula 1 put a newfound emphasis on aggregating data on F1 fans and sports fans alike, using it to improve the experience of the more than 500 million Formula 1 fans worldwide.

Global Research Director Matt Roberts is leading the charge, cultivating a new generation of Formula 1 fans using social media, video games and other online content, with a goal of turning Formula 1 into an entertainment brand that extends beyond the races that take place.
