More Teams!

We would be off to a good start if Bernie stopped milking off 50% of F1's revenue. Marussia could easily operate on a 100M budget if the toad from Suffolk stopped stealing half of the money and distributing the other half in a grossly unfair manner. Oh, and bring in customer cars. Marussia running customer Williams chassis would be more finacially sound and more competitive than having to run a factory on a shoe-string budget and therefore coming up with a turd each year.

But how financially sound will Williams be, if they themselves are trailing far behind Torro Rosso, Force India or Sauber with their customer Red Bull, Mercedes or Ferrari chassis?

I think if costs can go down the new teams (any new team) can have a chance at success.

I think costumer cars go against the spirit of F1 racing, and quite a lot of people are against it.

Also, not all new teams need to be painfully slow, there have been examples of good results instantly. With a heatlhy budget, intelligent and skilled people and the right approach, anything can be done

There's quite often customer cars unofficially. You can't say that Torro Rosso has nothing to do with the Red Bull car. Going back further Ligier blatantly ran just repainted Benetton chassis.

[N. Jones]

I will say that costs will have to go down if any new team is going to compete.

[Mia 01]

If the cost cap is to low, F1 will be no longer!!

Is it just me , or does it seem a bit too much of a coincidence that the name "Brabham" has come up just recently , in regards to being denied a spot in Formula E , and there just happens to be a slot opening in F1 ?

Haas has registered an interest: http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/3053 ... g-f1-team/

I guess with Dallara building their car they should be better than the last great American effort, USF1.

It's really way too early to say, but I don't know how they could possibly do any worse.
