Team bosses on possible 11th F1 team: 'Show attractiveness'
F1 News
There has been much discussion in Formula 1 about a possible eleventh team. Earlier, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff indicated that he does see some bears on the road when it comes to an additional Formula 1 team. Aston Martin team boss Mike Krack and Ferrari team boss Frederic Vasseur explain how they view a possible new formation.

Krack thinks the discussion is only good for the king class of motorsport. "I think the whole discussion is something that shows the attractiveness of the sport that many teams want to want to join it. It's great for the sport, it's great for the fans to have this discussion. I think it has to be right. I think it has to be decided in the right way. And we will see what happens. As Zak, the decision is with FIA and F1 So, I think the right decision will be taken."

French team boss Vasseur: "I think it could make sense for the F1 only if it's a huge push in every single direction. Very often, we are speaking about the nationality of the team, but for me, it's absolutely not an argument. F1 is not just a UK championship because we have 70% of the team based in the UK. The attractivity of the F1 is much more based on the nationality of the drivers, and so it's nothing to do with the nationality of the team."
Wolff previously said that with an extra team, Formula 1 would become a bit like a go-kart track. He cited that there are already huge safety problems during qualifying sessions, for example.
