He's an idiot and this point becoming an embarrassment to the sport. Who does he think Red Bull markets to, 80 year billionaires? Honestly, is he that stupid to basically not even know what his sponsors want from Formula 1? His comments about declining viewership are equally as ignorant. In the age of ever splintering media the shows that remain must-see and thus of ever increasing value are popular, live events. Maybe some of the sponsors or some of the people who actually own F1 will recognize that Bernie doesn't understand the 21st century and that they need to replace him with someone who can capitalize on the unique opportunities that F1 has. Soccer and the NFL have become media monsters because they understand how the system now works. Bernie has no clue.
