CNBC?! I didn't think to check that channel.
Yeah, when they televise F1 on the networks, you hear a lot of things like "bright red Ferraris", how each team has 2 drivers, "drag reduction system", and how F1 is the "pinnacle of motorsport".
Frankly, I don't think network broadcast really gets any more long-term viewers. Most people just think it's another one of those Indycar races that no one cares about.
