Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has warned that only 14 racers could be seen at the start next season. Teams Caterham and Marussia got into financial trouble and so the caravan was left without four race cars in just two weeks.

There will be only 18 cars left at the start of the race for the US Grand Prix, and Ecclestone believes that the number could be reduced over the winter, as some teams cannot afford to compete in Formula One.

“We could lose two more teams and see only 14 cars at the start. I can’t predict whether this will happen or not, but if there are 18 race cars in the race it’s not that bad yet, ”said Ecclestone, who believes the caravan needs smaller teams, but only,“ if they work as they should, not to beg around for money. ”

The Briton, however, is still disturbed by the sound of race cars, which are now powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter six-cylinder. “We need to change the rules and get rid of these engines because they don’t benefit anyone. They don't belong in formula one. "
