McLaren-Mercedes driver Jenson Button said in Austin that he was not very keen on seeing Formula 1 teams entering three cars in the next future.
Button was asked what he thought about seeing two Formula 1 teams entered administration.
“What happened to Caterham and Marussia is really a shame,” Button told journalists in the paddock of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin today.
“It's not the first time that this sort of thing happens, and it won't be the last one,” the Briton added.
“Three-car teams would change the sport dramatically. If you don't build one of the two best cars on the grid, it becomes almost impossible to score points because the best two will finish 1 to 6. These two teams would also lockup the podium,” Button explained.
“Hopefully, we'll see them back on the grid soon,” he concluded.
