This isn't the article I read originally but the figures are similar;
Under the five-year agreement, the governments will pay 15 million Canadian dollars a year to host the race, much less than the 35 million a year Ecclestone initially asked for.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Grand_Prix

Silverstone too won a favourable deal after the donny mess at a rate of 10 miilion pounds a year, rising to 16.5 million by 2015.

Perhaps people are getting wise to Bernie's "negotiating" and are standing up to him?

My hope is that he'll set F1 up for the next decade with a host of long term contracts at historic venues and then quietly retire. Sadly I don't see that ever happening. There is no hope of Bernie going till he drops and there doesn't seem to be a heir apparent waiting in the wings.
