F1 is an expensive arena to play in . If the rules say you up to the bar with 200 million dollars , and you have the 200 million to spend along with a sound business model then let them in . The elite attitude of " we don't need them " is BS .

Additional teams bring the opportunity for more drivers/engineers/team support members this can't be a bad thing . Now if the sport is all about money vs racing competition then I can see the attitude " it's our ball and you can't play " .

I would say you can decide when do we have enough based on safety or qty of pit stalls . Just my opinion I could be wrong .

I could type a long reply but this discussion would be more fun over a long evening at a bar table or over drink fuelled Zoom/TEAMS conference call
