Access All of Your F1 News With MyF1
This is a part of a challenge I’m doing, 28 concepts in 28 days. If you want to read about it head over to the Introduction.
Formula 1 fans are exposed to a lot of great content through multiple distribution networks. With the sheer amount of content available, this often means battling with many sources to capture fan interest. On top of any F1 websites, a fan may go to Youtube for clips, Instagram for team updates, or Reddit for the community. Remembering different logins, tools, and websites, is a pain, and it’s impossible for fans to know if they’re missing out on great content.
The solution to this is the MyF1 App, a single hub consolidating all F1 related content. MyF1 will source content from the community and teams into a carefully curated view, customized to each individual for a personalized experience.
Just like a race, no two fans are the same. The MyF1 experience needs to entice the casual fan just as actively as a super fan.
A comprehensive, yet user-friendly, onboarding experience will capture initial data. From there, to determine what an individual fan wants to see, engagement data is analyzed and adapts over time. MyF1 will tailor the experience to an individual user by allowing them to customize their dashboard based on their own interests. Then, using background actions, the MyF1 algorithm will streamline content from the F1 ecosystem, right into specific app widgets.
Users can reshuffle the interface, allowing a plethora of combinations. This level of personalization will reduce barriers to entry into the sport and keep super fans engaged in new material — It’s never been easier to be an F1 fan.
F1 is an international sport, so consider global coverage. A fan from North America needs to get up as early as 3 am to watch a race, if not, they wake up only to be exposed to the outcome via external sources. Spoilers can take the excitement and joy out of watching your favorite driver battle for the finish. The data collected MyF1 can be used to improve a fan’s life. Since the app recognizes your region, you can turn on the “Safety Car”, blocking spoiler posts from the MyF1 app.
To capture lasting fan engagement, their experience needs to be immediate but more importantly, personal, unique with the least amount of friction. Proactively solving user problems and fulfilling their needs is the best way to maintain a happy and engaged fan base.
