35 years ago today, F1 announced a grid of 21 teams for the 1989 season. Today they announced that having more than 10 teams has no value.

    F1 wants US $s for their stock

    F1 wants US eyes on their races

    F1 wants 3 US races

    F1 doesn’t want a 2nd US team

      Tbh I don’t count Haas as a US team. They are based in Europe and besides being “Haas” they don’t have anything American.

      They even patented branding for a Chicago GP, so maybe 4 US races in the near future…
