Seriously what self respecting promoter can't figure out how to make more money with a bigger megaphone?

I don't think FOM/CVC are that bothered by sponsors to be honest. They get paid upfront by circuits and TV companies before a car has turned a wheel, therefore sponsorship is not something they have exploited to a large degree aside from a few official partners.
The amount that any sponsors would put in is (in relative terms) a drop in the ocean to FOM and would probably be more hassle than it's worth to them - sadly this is what the current business model of F1 produces, they can afford to be complacent about promotion as it makes no difference to their bottom line.
