Sometimes I wonder about him. 15 year old kids watching the races every weekend eventually grow up and a certain portion of them continue to watch and can afford the items they grew up seeing. I was a soccer and F1 fan when I was young and this hasn't changed, they got me possibly for 60-70 years. I have never followed golf or rugby and at this point it will tough to get me to. Some marketing strategy to wait for someone to care once they have the money to pay for the product.

I am guessing Honda's goal on trying to reach out to the younger generations through F1 are different than Bernie's.

I also think the "nobody cares about the teams that left" is more of an excuse than a legitimate belief. Like having a party where half the people you hoped were coming didn't show. Having 5 teams with 4 cars each wouldn't help the situation.
