Mercedes willing to supply two teams in 2004
It remains to be seen whether this will lead to other car manufacturers agreeing to join in, but as the FIA is pushing hard for a restriction on the number of engines allowed at each event, the manufacturers will have the capacity to supply other teams. In the past Renault, BMW and Honda have all supplied more than one team and if they agree to sensibly-priced deals as Mercedes-Benz seems to be doing, it will open the way for the current small teams to survive and perhaps even for new teams to be set up and come into the sport.
