Having more drivers… at the end of the day there is always a limit at which you can go. “Adding one or two, you may open up some driving seats. But we need to also have the right dimension in what is successful for the sport.  Related Mario Andretti thinks Toto Wolff is too powerful in F1  Andretti seeking to enter new team into F1 in 2024“I think in that respect there is the evaluation of the sustainability of the team, the evaluation of not being too crowded with that. So I would say in terms of priority, it is not really a need for F1 today.”With F1’s rapid growth in recent years combined with the new cost cap, teams are more profitable than ever.Another team entering F1 would impact the revenue each of the existing teams get, explaining some of the reluctance to back Andretti’s entry bid. Explaining his concerns over Andretti entering F1, Domenicali said: “Now F1 is extremely competitive but you need to be very strong in terms of financials, in terms of competence, and today this is one of the things that is crucial, to make sure the stability of the system will be for a long time.“You see how difficult today it is to find people that really are the top quality in all the different business. I don’t think that today that is something we will be able to say with faith.“I think that is the time that we need to invest for the future, but we need to be balanced. So I’m not saying that this will not happen, but we need to take it step by step.”
