35 years ago today, F1 announced a grid of 21 teams for the 1989 season. Today they announced that having more than 10 teams has no value. (www.racefans.net)

What's the shortest start/finish straight on the calendar? The only real limit to the number of teams in my mind comes purely from how much longer the cars are that at a certain point the grid has to wrap around the final turn. I don't think we're anywhere near that on any of the current tracks, though.

We used to have pre-qualifying for situations like that

F1 is much too expensive for teams to be able to afford to show up and not qualify for a race
