I read somewhere just today that Imola will pay €22 million as the hosting fee for the 2017 race. €22 million. My...god.
I just literally shake my head at such ridiculousness, especially when circuits have frequently failed to turn a profit on the event itself. They then rely on other events throughout the year essentially "subsidising" the cost to run the F1 event, so all events have their prices inflated to cater for the bloated F1 event.
