Read between the lines.
Sprint race= 12% More audience.
.
It has been proven that ticket sales on Saturdays featuring a sprint race were no higher than on Saturdays without one.
People show up on Saturday regardless, drawn by the excitement of qualifying.
Moreover, FP3 is always exciting after a disappointing Friday caused by unknown factors.
Everyone runs qualifying-style laps during FP3.

I seriously don't understand why a geniune F1 fan would miss a Saturday session because it's practice rather than sprint race.

I usually watch the highlights because I don’t always have time to watch the full session.
