I'm not sure about that.
As far as I understood, the idea behind A1 was to bring a high-level series to new countries.
So the coverage within traditional countries is far less important.
In fact, if this series was to get too much media coverage in the traditional racing countries:
- It might take away attention (and money) from other new international racing series.
- It might degrade into another series in which the tradional countries reign, causing the new countries to turn away from the series.
And in that case, in 20 years time we might have a F1 "World" Championship which is still only contended by the same countries as the previous 50 years.
