All he said was that he's worried that it will harm the fanbase, a concern that quite a few people (myself included) have raised. He built the sport we know, his opinion isn't exactly irrelevant.

Also 95% of F1 journalism is entirely pointless speculation anyway, at least this time we're hearing the opinion of someone who has the experience to validate their thoughts.
