without turning it in a haas thread. id love 22 even 26 cars because we can give more talent a chance to prove themselves without hitting a glass ceiling & going to Formula E or Le Mans & we need the buffer because i cant believe F1 havent started a season with 16-18 cars. because its a miracle with amount of teams on verge or have gone out of business
but was clear to see with the drive to survive episode where grosjean & magussen had been let go. Gene Haas has either had enough or is very close, as he very vocal about how much team spend to finish 7th of 10. as the reason Mazepin & Schumacher were hired was Haas slashed the funding & told steiner he had to fill that gap with money/paydrivers. i think they are still towards the bottom Gene Haas goes. that will be another team that come & gone within 6 years. i was thinking sauber was the last new entry to stay in the sport for a decade is 1993, BAR, Jaguar, Toyota, Lotus/Caterham, Virgin/Marussia, HRT have all come in & gone within 6 years
