There's a common theme emerging here: The circuits can't afford the fee. If they do pay the fee then pass on the cost to the ticket buying public, people can't afford the tickets; the gate then dwindles meaning the circuit ends up making a loss. No one keeps a loss making event going long term. Bernie seems to be hell bent on killing off F1 imho.

Except for the filthy rich Gulf states like Bahrain, Qatar, ... those high fees will become more and more of a problem. Why would you organize a race if it will cost you loads of money with no chance of making a profit?
Dwindling viewer numbers, teams going bust, races being cancelled, ... If this continues it won't be long until some major sponsors start backing out and it all falls apart.
Makes you think what's going on in Bernie his mind. Maybe he thinks because he made F1 big business that he has the right to destroy it instead of leaving it in good hands.
