What exposure? I'd like to see what the Chinese viewing figures are for their home GP. The stands always look empty until race day, when the main start line stand is suddenly packed, with enthusiastic, Chinese F1 fans.
There was talk in 2008 of possibly dropping the race because it was haemorrhaging money.
