To the best of my knowledge most series organisers charge a commission of about 10% but CVC want 100% if they could get away with it.

They made over £550 million in 2012 from F1 and have all sorts of side deals with suppliers that it is difficult to workout exactly how much more. If £450 of that was shared between the 7 teams outside of the 4 big teams it would keep them in a nice position financially.

However must not forget the GP organisers who have to get about £300 from every spectator to make ends meet.
