Oh dear. Just what is going wrong with F1?
The German GP is in doubt for 2010 after the Nürburgring said it would not step in if the Hockenheimring cannot hold the event.
At this rate there'll be almost none of the "traditional" circuits left and within a few years we might be down to 15 GPs or less per season.
Surely this must make CVC sit up and take notice?
They obviously know that the high cost of hosting a GP is the main problem for a lot of non-government funded circuits so why don't they reduce the cost?
Are they that bothered about profit that they're prepared to let the circuits with the biggest fan bases go?
As we have already seen this season, the newer circuits are almost empty and even in some of the traditional older circuits, the crowds seem to be smaller than usual.
Due no doubt to the high ticket prices which the circuits have to charge in an attempt to recoup some of the cost of hosting the GP.
If this continues for a few more years then CVC will be responsible for the demise of F1.
