Revenue at Formula One has raced to a total of $16.2 billion over the past 15 years outstripping its closest rival the FIFA World Cup of soccer according to new research...

...has fuelled F1’s rise to become the world’s most-watched annual sports series and last year it had 425 million television viewers.

Between 1999 and 2013 F1’s revenue came to a total of $16.2 billion which already outstrips FIFA’s even though it does not include the amount for 2014 unlike its rival. Since 1999 F1’s revenue has risen five times compared to a three-fold increase at FIFA.

(of course they say "annual sports series" because the World Cup and Olympics will have more viewers when they occur every four years.)
