Formula 1 is now asking for a hefty increase, we hear, and as of now, Sony isn’t willing to agree. While there has been no announcement so far, industry sources told us that EA, Ubisoft and Codemasters may be in the running for the license of a new five-year contract. http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37275/98/ While its definetly not in the same league as dropping GTA exclusivity, it is another series that will make its way to the other consoles and PC.

F1 is big in "Others" and "Japan", and they buy Sony anyway, so exclusivity isn't worth a price increase, probably.
That last F1 game had great visuals, but F1 isn't a big seller overall.
