Tickets for the European GP have been chopped almost in half. Organisers said on Wednesday that also to boost attendance at the Nurburgring on May 28 - 30, an extra day - Thursday - is to be added to the F1 event schedule.

'Formula One doesn't sell itself anymore,' said business manager Walter Kafitz. He added: 'We couldn't make a profit last year.'

Kafitz denied that Germans aren't enjoying Michael Schumacher's dominance, which could explain why less are flocking to the track to watch their countryman race. 'If [Rubens] Barrichello won all the time,' he said, 'then I'd be scared.'
