Well, i’m not a web dev, but as a long time fan I may offer some personal opinion on this. First, who visit these sites? Nowadays fans just follow twitter and Instagram for related info, and would-be sponsors have no reason to take a look at sites looking for interest. This is such a small field with huge public info availability no body needs info from web site to relate. The only time I tried to visit team website is to shop some fan stuff. I guess the teams also know this so they can’t care less



Agreed. I am an avid F1 fan, but I don't think I have ever visited a constructors site in all the decades I have been into the sport. At most I will visit the main formula1.com site, mainly to find out race times or to watch highlights of a race I missed (and a site which I hoped the OP would measure alongside the team sites), or else consume information via Youtube, Instagram and other aggregate sites. No interest in just seeing a fancy moving brochure site that doesn't tell me any more than the others I mentioned above.


Given the amount of analytics scripts in these pages, someone at these places must care about them.
