That's just Bernie running his mouth, there are several good tracks in Argentina.

Although this is looking like a completely fabricated leak.
It's my hope that if FOTA break away they "bust Bernie’s balls" as well, thus making his opinion rather useless.
As for Haug, if FOTA breaks away, I believe Mercedes will follow. His voice is just one of many.
I'm sure, like all responsible affiliates the TV deal will be much more important than the facilities stature, and capacity.
There are 9 mos. until this projected starting date. Plenty of time to get the paddock in shape for machinery, and supplies.

Just look at their merchandise, for example at Silverstone a Kimi hat was £45-£80 (depending on logo) and a Jenson Hat was £25!! The teams are also very guilty of ripping the fans off so I don't think prices will be anymore rosey in the breakaway series...

Don't forget that a big chunk of those prices goes into Bernie's pockets!

As for tickets, FOTA would be stupid to NOT lower the rates. Why would they wnat half-sold events like Turkey. Ticket prices and fan access have been one of their proposed priorities from the beginning.

Looks like a good list to me! Before we put too much emphasis on the "Never hosted F1" tracks we should remember that before a few years ago, the list would have included Bahrain, Singapore, China, Abu Dhabi, Turkey...
