Formula 1 fans have criticized Liberty Media's chief executive after the CEO suggested that viewers do not need to watch every Grand Prix to consider themselves fans of the sport.
The remarks, reported on October 29, 2026, sparked a backlash on social media, with many supporters arguing that dedication to following each race is a core part of being an F1 enthusiast.
Liberty Media, which owns the commercial rights to Formula 1, has not issued a further statement on the controversy.
