Formula 1 is finally ready to consider allowing an 11th team to join the grid, according to the sport's top boss.
Chief executive Stefano Domenicali confirmed as much as he appeared to change his tune on the topic. On more than one occasion this year he has played down the prospect of adding more teams to the grid.
At the start of the season he revealed there have been "many requests" from interested parties, but expressed his view that more cars on the grid will not bring "added value". And in September, Domenicali said that having more teams on the grid would risk the sport becoming "too crowded".
