he has! but THE FAN base is mainly europe...and the teams as well
over the last few years i have watched it less and less and the new changes and tv rights will mean i watch it less along with 1000's if not millions of others
Surely that will kill off the sport :S When you watch the none european races there no spectators in half the stands apart from canada thats alway full. ive been to Nurburgring, Spa, Monaco and Monza and theyve all been packed, so why would you kill over your bread and butter races :s
Don't forget, season over, he has got to do something to keep people talking. He physically can't walk away from the likes of Spa and Monaco, it will take years if he is going to head East, by which time he will be dead and buried and the plan will fail.
