What Are The Most Popular Worldwide Sports Based On Google Searches?

How does formula 1 compare against the popularity of other sports? 

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve compiled a few tables ranking formula 1 drivers and teams based on their number of monthly Google searches to see which drivers/teams are the most popular with formula 1 fans.  Just to quickly recap, it’s safe to say that all drivers receive significant numbers of Google searches every month, and in some cases certain drivers are being searched for as often as every five seconds!

To carry on the ‘Google search’ theme, I also decided to investigate how the popularity of formula 1 as a whole compares with other sports, by looking up the monthly Google searches for a sample of sports.  In some cases where a sport is known by more than one name (such as athletics/track and field), I’ve added the figures for the two search terms together and then compiled the results into a table.
