This isn't the article I read originally but the figures are similar;

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.

Bernie only said a few weeks ago when asked that he intends to NEVER retire - he is going to be like the Queen of England: takes one look at who will follow and it merely firms her resolve NEVER TO DIE either

Their is no real successor to Bernie. His very able asistant is Pasquale Lattuneddu but there will only ever be ONE Bernie. After him I think some sort of FOTA governing will be the order of the day with a CEO - similar to the FIA but representing the teams.
