If Russia weren't the only team not to pay the bills, why were they the only team not to be allowed to race? Or were they simply unable to attend due to their finances?
If the figures alluded to for the Dubai race are as low as the reality, it is worrying for the series. Countries like Dubai could be key to the viability of the championship. I'm not sure how expensive it is to run a race there; it's proabbly a fraction of what it would be at Brands, but surely not by enough to offset the smaller crowds AND lower ticket prices?
