There are a lot of points to address there.
I think there are a lot of UK teams and UK people in all levels of motorsport because of numerous reasons.
I think the main reasons are the UK is kind of the spiritual home of motor racing. I know Ferrari has a huge pedigree and other nations like Japan do as well. But in terms of racing the UK is the home of motor racing really.
Most foreign teams employ UK staff as well and there must be a reason for this. I guess you would have to ask them for a definitive answer. Its probably because they are some very good motor sport people in the UK. Maybe its cultural thing as well, at lot people in the UK dream of working in racing which may lead to a lot more teams over here. Perhaps in foreign countries its not such a huge thing?? I don't know.
So perhaps that is the answer, there is a lot of UK presence in F1 and new teams because as a nation we're good at it and a lot people want to do it in the UK.
I don't think it has anything to do with Max of Bernie to be honest.
