IE this year when the red bulls and brawns were the only ones really competiting for the top slot it would be 6 cars.Also team orders would come into play a lot more, I think there would be less &quot;racing&quot; involved. Also young drivers might be picked basically to hault the field.Im not in favour unless they critically reduce the air disturbance of the cars (or stop Tillman designed god-awful tracks).</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not a massive fan of this, as it would pretty much make a &#8220;two tier championship&#8221;.

They have never been able to stay ahead of the teams. If the big teams want to blow their budgets, they are going to and they will hide this from any of the investigators.
If the teams want 3 cars let them have it but only the fastest 2 race then it is back to the original number.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Controlling cost..come on guys, do you really think yhat the fia is really going to be able to enforce this rule..I dont.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/?p=25467#comment-288659</guid> <description>So for the past two years, F1 has been trying to cut costs to allow smaller teams a chance to compete against the top dogs.  And now we are talking about 3 car teams.  So if there are 13 teams (33 cars) or 14 teams (42 cars).For starters, that is FAR to many cars on a grid, especially when the cars are SO weak (compared to lets say touring cars), you could expect to lose 5-7 cars on the first 3 corners of the first lap.  The tracks are not big enough to support that number of cars and the garages are not big enough either.Then we have driver wages, why would smaller teams who struggle each year to stay in F1 want to pay a third drivers wages?  It makes no sence.  The costs of running a thrid car would just be too great and with F1 trying to lower costs, the last thing they want is 13,14 MORE cars on the grid.I cant see this ever happening and i dont want to see it happen either, 26 cars is plenty for F1, 28 at a push but thats about the limit.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So for the past two years, F1 has been trying to cut costs to allow smaller teams a chance to compete against the top dogs.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/?p=25467#comment-288620</guid> <description>Definitely NO to 3 car teams. We were recently told that the cost of financing F1 teams was prohibitive and now they suddenly want to forget that argument and increase the numbers of cars. Whoever it is promulgating that argument is very mistaken in his beliefs. It will discourage the smaller teams and the modern F1 circuits cannot cope with more traffic.
If you want to improve the quality get rid of circuits that are mere tunnels with no roofs (ie Singapore) and the street circuits. I would make an exception for Monaaco on the grounds of tradition. Was it Gonzales who finished up in the harbour? It was getting too crowded even then.
Open road circuits are thrilling to watch with the current calibre of drivers and unless the current Safety Car rules are changed then we are never going to get past the first corner with 3 car teams.
