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.

All their admin side of things are based in Charlotte in the US.

@SatouKazuma · 11 months ago

Yeah, but none of their sporting side are based in the States.

The teams don’t want to share the price pool

Great sportsmanship demonstrated by the teams!

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