35 years ago today, F1 announced a grid of 21 teams for the 1989 season. Today they announced that having more than 10 teams has no value. (www.racefans.net)

Presumably you'd get less wheel-to-wheel racing, and considering that most recent rule changes have been in pursuit of more of that, it seems unlikely they'd take a course that resulted in less.

Yeah, the first two or three laps are where the most passing happens and the cars generally set into a groove from there

Spec series like Indy and F2 keep the cars closer together for the entire race so there's action throughout
