Formula 1 is in danger of not having any sprint events this year as a result of a stand-off over money, says McLaren boss Zak Brown.
F1 had an agreement in principle from the teams to increase the number of sprints from three to six in 2022.
But eight out of 10 teams need to agree on details to secure the sprints, and some are holding out for more money.
Last year a financial deal was agreed to provide the teams with a small payment to offset potential damage from more racing.
But Brown said the big teams were trying to take advantage of this by pushing for a larger than necessary increase in the budget cap, which is set at $140m (£103m) this year.
"A couple of teams, and one team in particular, wanted a $5m budget cap increase, which was just ridiculous," Brown said.
"And no rational facts behind it. When you challenged them, they go to what if and could and you've got to anticipate. You sit there and go 'This is just nonsense.'"
