FIA WANTS MORE TEAMS

The FIA intends to introduce yet more new rules for 2010 in an attempt to encourage two more teams to fill out the grid to the established limit of 12. The rules will be presented to the World Motor Sport Council on March 17, and the aim is to give teams a chance to race with a low budget and yet be competitive.

USF1 presumably is aware of what the FIA has in mind, while the ex-Honda team could also benefit from any changes. The FIA has made progress toward ensuring that a Cosworth engine and an Xtrac gearbox are available at an affordable price for 2010, and it remains to be seen what else is in the package of additional rules. One possibility is that the budget-cap idea suggested by FIA president Max Mosley last year will be revisited.

There is a clear hint that any such new independent teams might receive some sort of break-possible parameters are weight, downforce and/or horsepower-that would give them a chance to compete against established teams. It remains to be seen how existing teams will react to such an unprecedented proposal.
