Bernie Ecclestone has revealed there will be at three new teams joining Formula 1 next season.

The F1 supremo said 26 cars will be on the starting grid for the 2010 campaign and that a medals-system will determine the championship.

Assuming of course that no one leaves this season? Great news if it's true though!

Well, one of them is the Windsor/Anderson USGPF1 or whatever they are called now.

Does this mean that David Richards is still in the mix?

Would Stoddart-Minardi gets another shot at F1?

That's only going to happen in Bernie's wet dreams.
F1 should be happy if they get another team and don't lose any of those on board.

Windsor's Windbags aside, no other teams have publicly declared any interest in entering next year. I've got a strange feeling that this is just Bernie trying to talk up his series to deflect from the inevitable rumours of financial hardship.

I hope I'm wrong, I'd love to see 26 cars on the grid, but part of me thinks that the other two new teams will simply be management buyouts of Renault and Toyota.

BS. I'll be surprised if Windbag makes it, let alone anyone else.

It entirely depends on your definition of 'new'.....a re-badged Renault/Toyota would be new, an oft-rumoured second string Mac team would be new. I;m sure Bernie thinks Brawn is 'new' to make them cough up the fees rather than take the 'Honda' slot.
