Perhaps motorsport in general will never clean up its act if it thinks people will watch regardless ...
Sorry didn't mean to make it personal, but I am trying to highlight the fact that this happens in all series. Frentzen won races for Williams but did people stop watching the sport (aside from some Germans and immediate family!) as a direct result.

Anthony Davidson should have had a reasonable shot at Formula 1 before now, but he hasn't and probably won't. Does this stop people watching F1. Of course not.

My point is this is not specific to A1 - if treatment of a driver is ANYONE's reason for not watching the series then I'm sorry but I am suggesting that they are disregarding the fact this goes on elsewhere or (more likely in this case) there is a bigger problem with the series in question of which the treatment of drivers is just a small part.
