The big questions are......
How much value the manufacturers place on image and how they think F1 should reflect what is happening in the retail market.
Where the category owner and the FIA wants to place F1 in this huge change that is taking place. Honda for instance did not think that their continued presence in F1 was going to align with their marketing and business plans that they have announced since announcing they were leaving.
Those I think are the two big unanswered questions and it is likely that the "stakeholders" haven't arrived at a conclusion yet because they simply don't know. They have to assess where they see it all going before they can plan for the future of F1 and indeed for the motorsport categories that feed it.
