$35 million loss to add to the $50 million in 2010 and whatever the lost in 2011 !

Korean GP bosses said last year they were seeking renegotiate its GP contract in a bid to keep the event on the calendar following doubts over its future.

Eg - get out of there 7 year contract ( good - a souless track and event )

Let's face it, you don't become a new GP host in order to make a profit from the event itself...

Over half the GPs nowadays are at souless places in funny countries. Reduce it down, like a good stock and get on with it. If many of the GPs now being held were on Masterchef they would have left the show ages ago.

Keep:
San Marino
Spa
Silverstone
Donnington ( Irish GP )
Monaco
Abu Dabai
Brazil
Montreal
Japan
Australia
Monza

Maybe Texas


Cant find a good track in either Germany or France or Spain.
