Prospective Serbian Formula 1 team Stefan GP hope to join the 2010 grid for the new season.

But Stefanovich said: "We think [expanding to 14 teams] is the best way to solve the problem."

Stefan GP, who are aiming to test for the first time in Portugal later this month, bought the cars developed for 2010 by the former Toyota F1 team.

Their chances of joining the grid appeared to improve recently, when F1 commercial rights controller Bernie Ecclestone said he did not expect either Campos Meta or USF1 to be on the grid for the first race of the season.
