FIA president Jean Todt says he has not had any offers he deems serious from interested parties wishing to enter new Formula 1 teams.

Earlier this year, Zoran Stefanovic revealed plans for a second attempt to enter a team, having previously tried to join the grid as Stefan GP.

There are believed to several parties, including a group from China, that are evaluating entering F1.

But though Todt has had contact from interested candidates, he has seen nothing serious enough to warrant the FIA opening a tender for an additional slot on the grid.

"Not something I will comment on as a very serious offer," said Todt when asked if he had had any reasonable offers.

"When we will see there is some serious offer [we will open a tender] - as we did when Haas came to Formula 1, we understood there was some serious interest so we created a tender."

Previously, F1 had a maximum 26-car grid capacity but has not featured that many cars in its field since the middle of the 1995 season
