All numbers from the F1 Global Broadcast Report via Pitpass. Pitpass' business editor Christian Sylt also adds that "for the first time, the report did not publish a total figure for the global TV audience" and quotes Ecclestone that "a small handful of territories didn't meet expectations in terms of reach, with the Chinese market suffering a decrease which could not be absorbed by a significant number of increases elsewhere."
