Bernie has revealed there will be three new teams joining Formula 1 next season to make a 26 car grid... I knew of the USGP team, but who are the other two?

Virgin? maybe

maybe Bernies Puppet team so he can have his say in FOTA?

[meves]

I was thinking about that 1 has to be Dave Richards, will the other be one of the Japanese teams that come and go or could it be Paul Stoddart back again as he is still running the 2 seaters and says that he wants to come back?

I read that last night, would love to see that many cars on the track next year!

I understand that Volvo has serious plans to enter together with Tom Walkinshaw and Cosworth engines, provided that the 30 MEUR limit is for real.

Hot air,
Bernie is trying to say "I have teams ready to sign with me, do as I say".

[Roland Ehnström]

I'll eat my hat if that ever happens...

Please refrain, we still have a balaclava to deal with .... lol

I was pretty certain that two seasons ago, the FIA stated they would not allow more than 24 cars to take to the grid for safety reasons.

Hehe, don't worry, it won't happen.

This comes from very reliable sources, why I wouldn't be too certain against that happening.
I think they could provide serious contribution to the aerodynamic developments of the sport anyway.

[ben_watkins]

The proposed budget limit of 30 million Euro for teams as described by the FIAsco the other week.

[woohoo]

Well everything Bernie has said lately had to be taken with a bit os salt, so Ill do the same on this "announcement".
