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.

Chart of the Day

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
