There have been some interesting rumours on the F1 structure front. In an Autosport article there is a suggestion that we may have 8 teams with 3 cars each in the near future. This idea is being driven by Bernie & CVC to reduce the cost to them of F1 and hence line their pockets even further.

The idea came out of the failure of the customer car concept which was not acceptable to the F1 teams.

The new idea would see both Caterham & Marussia being merged / taken over by other teams. Toro Rosso would be absorbed into Red Bull.
The two smaller teams are said to be already in talks with other teams and an anouncement might come shortly.

The majority of teams are said to be in favour of this plan. There are a number of ideas that the third car could run in different colours and or to be driven by a young driver.

It will be interesting to see if any of this plan happens. It will be toughest for the midfield teams left to finance the running of an extra car as it could be very difficult for them to score points under this system.
