There is room for 2 more teams in F1 as far as I am aware as there was originally going to be 13 teams when the now Caterham & Marussia joined but the USGP team failed to get off the ground and it was too late for anybody else to start.
However if I was a new team starting I would like to know if there was any prospect of getting money from Bernie/CVC at least after the first year. Not getting money from that source could mean your teams survival would be beyond extremely difficult. The other part of that is if you have a valid entry from the FIA you should be entitled to money and a contract from FOM because of image rights etc. A new team would be in a very weak bargaining position with Bernie if recent events are anything to go by.
