That is what the governing FIA wants to discover by launching a near-unprecedented online fans' survey.
In early 2005, the Paris body initiated an extensive campaign to investigate the state of F1 and the direction it should take for the future.
The FIA/AMD Formula One Survey 2005, to be launched at Monaco, recognises fans - like teams, manufacturers, suppliers, circuits and broadcasters - as F1 'stakeholders', the FIA insisted.
The survey's results will be made publicly known, a source close to the governing body added.
