Mercedes F1 Principal Toto Wolff Campaigns for 30-Car Grids, 3-Car Teams

Toto Wolff is once again pitching the idea of adding a third car to each Formula 1 team's pit garage and increasing the starting grid from 20 to 30 cars.

Currently, the sport's teams are bustling with talent—talent that is struggling to enter Formula 1 due to the lack of vacant cockpits. Adding a third car could solve that problem, but possibly create others.

Mercedes' Formula E champion Nyck de Vries is one such talent, and the driver roster of Ferrari and Alpine's respective junior academies are also full. It's a similar story elsewhere.

The fear is that all of that talent might be forced to abandon Formula 1 and instead target careers in Formula E, IndyCar, sports cars and the like.

Mercedes team boss Wolff thinks one solution would be a third car per team.
