I only hope he doesn't screw it up when it comes to the likes of Montreal and Sao Paulo, to name only two.

I wasn't discounting the popularity amongst teams, drivers and fans, that's a given. In fact losing a very popular race I think would do Bernie no favors, especially as he's trying to expand in North America and I also think if North America is reduced to one race, that would be retrograde for the same reason.
North America is a big market and one that Bernie, the teams and their sponsors want to take advantage of.
