Ecclestone missed a golden opportunity to put F1 on the map in the U.S. when he signed with NBC for 2013.
He has complained for years because the crouds were not big enough in the States.
The smart thing woul have been to have NBC show the races on regular channels instead of NBC sports.
The public will only get to see 4 races in 13. That is not building a fan base. We have had that for the last 17 seasons.
I think maybe he will never learn, and NBC is as dumb as he is. They would have a much larger audience on the regular channels.
