Aside from having all the cars that anybody cares about (ex Williams), thanks to Bernie's greed they now have a huge list of world class venues to chose from for races. Montreal, Silverstone, Paul Richard, Indianapolis, and Hockenhiem are all free today and the current F1 doesn't have a long-term lock on Monaco, Spa, or Monza. That is a huge advantage in terms of drawing interest. Throw in Imola along with a few others, and you have a solid calendar.

+1 Not to mention any number of great US venues...
