Really, they've all done it. To Bernie's credit, none of the other racing CEOs can claim the commercial successes he's been able to achieve for F1.

I dunno about the live gate but a London GP through Hyde Park would be HUGE and the TV numbers would be off the charts.
It would put more money in Bernie's pocket than the Olympics will. Perhaps that is what he meant by "be bigger than the Olympics."
