What if the plateau for 2010 was not defined?

Barely has the list of teams selected by the FIA ​​to participate in the 2010 championship been published when Nick Fry admits that some could withdraw. Initially, the teams wishing to join the F1 in 2010 submitted their application based on a budget capped at 45 million euros. But since the idea of ​​a capped budget was abandoned, it is not impossible that of the three newly entered teams (US F1, Campos Meta and Manor GP), one or more of them throw in the towel.

This is in any case the opinion of Nick Fry, the managing director of Brawn GP. “ We want more teams in Formula 1 ", he told Reuters, " and if one of them is unable to find funds to align, there is always the possibility that others will be invited “, continued Fry.

Aside from Lola and N-Technology who withdrew their candidacy, all the other candidates remain theoretically awaiting a possible withdrawal from a team. However, if it is unlikely that US F1 and Campos will withdraw? they have already started working on their car ? Manor GP could be most affected by increased budgets.
