Bernie is such a tease... You never know if what he is saying is part of some theatrics to sway some organizing deal or other, it never encourages booking hotels and airplane tickes to these on again off again grands prix.

I think Bernie has a problem with the US motorsport world.
F1 did rather well in the US until Bernie gained power over F1 and it has been on and off up and down ever since. It has not been able to take root since.

Plant a seed, two good races Texas and New Jersey, let it grow and ten seasons from now F1 will be an established part of the US racing scene. Look at what grew out of the ALMS.

Texas is the only place willing to build an F1 track.
