Formula One is a massive television event with an aggregate of 600 million watchers at every race. The Formula One Group is the legal holder of Formula One. Since 2000, Formula One is seeing a trend of teams going bankrupt (e.g. Toyota), teams which don't actually begin a season (e.g. US F1 Team) and teams which are sold to someone else (e.g. HRT F1 Team & Sauber F1 Team). These buyouts are also influenced by the FIA, because it limits the number of participant teams.
