dieter_mateschitz.jpg Red Bull Tycoon Dietrich Mateschitz has prompted debate that each Formula One team should be allowed to sport ‘four cars’ per grand prix in the future. The billionaire born in austria has recently and openly put his 50 per cent share in ‘Toro Rosso’ up for sale, as Formula One prepares to not accept ‘customer cars’ in formula one from 2010.

But in an effort to maintain the same number of Red Bull branded cars on the grid, Mateschitz told an Austrian newspaper that an alternative solution would be to allow four red bull branded cars to be entered into each race.

“My proposal is to allow four cars per team, If the regulations mean Toro Rosso can no longer utilise Red Bull technologies, then it makes no sense,” he is quoted by Salzburger Nachrichten. “We can not build a second Milton Keynes in Faenza,” Mateschitz added.
