Exactly what I was thinking; I wonder who's come out of the woodwork?!?! It's certainly gonna upset the applecart when the 12 are annouced. there's gonna be some serious politics happening! I wonder if there's a mix of the regulars plus their 'b' teams too both existing and potential, just to follow on from the latest fad of running yourself twice ? The plot thickens |

Maybe bernie and max will swing the axe, could we see some of the big names in the sport rejected to make way for some more complient teams. |

Sadly, while that would be good to see, only 12 teams are allowed as the pits can't cope on some tracks. Odd that some of those track were on the calender when 26, 30, 36, 40 cars turned up, like Spa, Imola, Silverstone, Hockenheim, to name just a few...

Would the FIA kick out any of the teams that attempted to break away? I don't see the logic in only allowing 12 teams to take part. I would like the idea of prequalifying again. I don't know how each team could get their own pit space, in fact it would be impossible, but assuming the current 11 stay in, that leaves one team. How do they choose which one? |

They need to ban any #2 team. Also, if Nascar can get by with 43 pit stalls at Indy, what's FIA's problem??? |

I agree, no 'B' teams. It will obviously cause team tactics which affects races, and besides at this rate Red Bull will end up owning 60% of the F1 teams. Also politics then plays too big a part in deciding who gets F1 drives as teams will just bring through their junior drivers and the best young drivers will not get into F1 for sure. If teams want B teams they can run them in GP2 for me. I hate STR and everything they stand for, especially since they removed Minardi from F1. |

And most of the track host either LMES or FIA GT races, which have 40+ cars at times. I don't think garage space is a problem really |

I would too, but it would be restricted to 26 starters. Otherwise, they would have to use the real pits and start line |
