'If you want to sustain the sport, you have to open it to the rest of the manufacturers. We are allowed to have 12 teams on the grid.' FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem says F1 should welcome new teams after cold reception to Andretti's plans:
over the plans by Andretti Global to enter F1 with the General Motors-backed Cadillac name, Sulayem has been a lone voice so far in publicly supporting the team's ambitions.
However, Ben Sulayem sees little downside to having more competitors racing, believes only good can come from having the involvement of a manufacturer like GM. does at Sauber, Ben Sulayem thinks having a company of that magnitude involved in F1 does change things in bringing credibility to the project.
"I welcome anyone to fill up the 12 [spots], but proper teams. We have accepted good teams but also smaller teams, like Haas and Sauber. I hope that this will change, and we will be able to have a proper team on the grid. It will be odd [to be] at 11, and not 10 or 12. But we'll see."
