Potential New Teams for 2015

[steveaki13]

I know no one rates Crash Net, but I was browsing around and I found this on the potential new teams trying to enter F1 for 2015.

http://www.crash.net/f1/news/200209/...lications.html

I hope we do get a couple of new teams personally, but you really wonder how any new team will ever enter F1 ever again.

Its so expensive now that with 10 years we will only have about 4 teams.

Bernie say he thinks there will be 2 new teams in F1 next season.

Of course what Bernie says isn't always reliable.

excellent news

4 more seats ( plus 2 reserve drivers) for 2015

can't wait
I bet you one will get honda engines *probably haas)
and the other a highly coveted mercedes engine and strong partnership with petronas mercedes GP
i'm calling it here first

we will also see the return of all or 2 of Senna, Buemi, and diresta (diresta with the mercedes engine), with maybe algeurasi also returning
i expect the other seats to be up for grabs, I also think hulkenberg replaces button at Mercedes, opening up that seat for Diresta to rejoin the team

That is good news.

Some will say there is no point if they are not competitive, but I really hope all the current teams survive and we get a 26 car grid.

Even if they struggle early on they will provide extra racing at the back of the field.


Good news for me

I think rjbetty also will be happy to see a 26 car grid.

Gene Haas' entry is well seen by Bernie, according to late reports.

[Tazio]

This is an intriguing suggestion, I wonder if there is anything to it?

Meanwhile the Haas Automation entry could utilise Ford branded Cosworth engines, the English firm has recently opened a new office in Detroit and developed its own power unit for the 2014 season, but refused to put it into production without a OEM partner.

[steveaki13]

Do we think there is any chance of 26 cars next year?

I mean Caterham could quit, Lotus and Sauber are wobbling financially.

Gene Haas has confirmed his entry has been accepted. I hope it's a true American team and doesn't base itself out of the UK.

I also hope there will be another team accepted and we will have a 26 car grid next year.

I have to say I was extremely sceptical about these supposed new teams ever materialising, given how many "new" F1 teams have turned out to be either very short-lived or entirely fictional in the recent past. But you've got to respect the names behind this one.
