I think we should be very concerned

Nothing to worry about, Bernie won't like F1 going to an exclusive Cable/Satellite provider because it simply doesn't reach enough people. To go that way is to take the High road to A1GP obscurity.
What is a serious possibility now is that F1 could go back to BBC, as after losing the Football bid they have a spare £300-£400 million burning a hole in their back pocket. Which would potentially be a good thing as it would bring an end to adverts interupting the race.
