Chart of the day: 6 in 10 says Singapore Grand Prix is good for the country

Only 1 in 3, however, said they will follow the race in person or online.

This chart from YouGov shows that six in 10 Singaporean adults think that the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix has a positive impact on the country.

This comes even as just one in three say they intend to follow the race in person or online (37%), indicating that positive sentiment transcends whether residents identify as fans or not. Amongst F1 fans, however, positive sentiment is even higher with eight in 10 saying the race has a positive impact on the country.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
