Toto Wolff recently suggested that teams should be allowed to enter three cars in a race I am wondering what you guys think of that.  To me I like the idea because it will put more cars on the grid, gets more drivers involved in F1, and that to me at least will make it more interesting and accessible.

I do see a potential downside that the likes of Ferrari and Mercedes and quite possibly Red Bull could afford it much more than the other teams in racing so it could lead to a more dominating effect. Plus a team running three cars naturally from a  tactical point of view will have more potential to control a race more than a team that can only afford to run two cars.

I do like the suggestion that the third car should be driven by a young driver in one of the teams driver programs. In fact why stop at one driver maybe various drivers could share the seat during the year to gain experience.

I am certain the Esteban Ocon situation has brought this idea to the fore, the idea a driver of that talent could be out of F1 next season is both a joke and in my eyes unacceptable and bad for the sport. Many people say because he is  Mercedes driver he is not welcome in other teams and I do understand that. That said why should a team sponsor and support a driver through his early career and then just have to let him go?  To me I would have targeted Daniel Ricciardo for the second seat and if that failed (as it did, if indeed they tried) I would have put Ocon in the seat ahead of Bottas as unfair as that may seem to some

Your thoughts gentlemen...
