Default The US isn't F1's largest market.
Or even their target market.

I think Theisen and Haug would disagree. Now you sound like Bernie.

Default What would they disagree with?
Yes, people in the US watch F1. Just not enough to warrant any consideration from FOM where scheduling is concerned.

You can't please everyone when you're broadcasting a sport worldwide. That being the case, you'd be an idiot to not give your largest market top priority.
