Just thinking out loud then (all speculation, I really have no idea):

1. Zandvoort or Assen (paying - whichever willing to pay more)
2. Mugello (no paying, keeps Ferrari happy)
3. Surfers Paradise (paying - Queensland Govt)
4. Hampton downs (I hope not paying, A1GP owe's it to Colin Giltrap!)
5. Indonesia (paying - Indonesian Govt or Lippo Village developer)
6. Sepang (paying - Malaysian Govt)
7. Zhuhai (paying - Chinese Govt)
8. Kyalami (paying?)
9. Mexico (paying but not enough to break even - Mexican Dept of Tourism)
10. Brazil (must be paying, otherwise I've only got 7. This one will get cancelled anyway)
11. Algarve (not paying, part of deal for tax break on new factory)
12. Brands Hatch (not paying)

Thoughts?
I don't think they need to keep Ferrari happy, other than by paying their astronomical bills to them.
