I think I'm right in saying that Ferrari merchenise has always been teh biggest selling team gear in the UK, even when they were struggling and Williams and Mansell/Hill hugely successful. The very name has a lot of prestige and passion to it (although the current team doesn't inspire these feelings in me), and it would be the biggest loss out of all the teams, but F1 would survive, and probably be just as strong again within a few years, especially if they leave after a couple of comparaitvely lean years.
