Re: Ecclestone wants bigger F1 teams to run third car

When I think about the racing series I like, most of them let a team run three or more entries. So it's hard to oppose this one on principle.

However, it's hard to see any other intent behind this proposal than an attempt to paper over the cracks if/when Sauber and Caterham withdraw.
