Steiner: Third car idea could confuse viewers

Haas boss Guenther Steiner believes that adding a third car to Formula One teams could confuse the fans.

There has been speculation about this and largely, this idea has been promoted and campaigned for by Mercedes boss Toto Wolff - to try and benefit young drivers more than the sport is currently doing.

However, one of his rival bosses disagrees with the Austrian.

"I'm not in agreement with a third car because it could confuse the whole picture," Steiner thinks. "It would be very difficult to understand for the fans and new spectators that sometimes a third car could run.

"It would distort the actual championship, in my opinion. I think we need to sit back and come up with a better idea."

Financially, Steiner believes that this idea isn't viable for the sport - especially for Haas, unless an outside team helped the financial situation.

"As it stands, we have no interest to field a third car," Steiner added. "If somebody comes up and pays for it, yes we can consider it. Until that happens, there is no thinking about a third car for us."

The idea that has been spoken up by Wolff, hasn't exactly gone down well with other bosses, with questions over its practicality and the financial setbacks it could cause.
