Let Red Bull race four cars - Mateschitz Saturday 26 April at 10:30 : Red Bull magnate Dietrich Mateschitz has proposed that each formula one team be allowed to field four cars per grand prix in the near future.
The Austrian billionaire has openly put his 50 per cent share in junior outfit Toro Rosso up for sale, as formula one prepares to no longer condone 'customer cars' from 2010.
But in an effort to maintain the same number of Red Bull-branded cars on the grid, Mateschitz told an Austrian newspaper that an alternative would be to simply allow four RBRs to be entered at each race.
"My proposal is to allow four cars per team," he said.
"If the regulations mean Toro Rosso can no longer utilise Red Bull technologies, then it makes no sense," he is quoted as saying by Salzburger Nachrichten.
"We can not build a second Milton Keynes in Faenza," Mateschitz added. |
