Slow teams should not be allowed in F1 - Montezemolo

Updated



Luca di Montezemolo has continued his sustained attack on formula one's new teams.

The Ferrari president thinks the grid should be filled by the bigger teams fielding three cars, rather than by opening the doors to newcomers including Lotus, Virgin and HRT.

Next year, another small team is likely to make its debut.

Spain's El Mundo newspaper this week claims that the budget of the new Spanish outfit HRT is ten times smaller than Ferrari's.

"In modern F1 races cars with GP2 levels of performance shouldn't be allowed to participate -- they are supposed to race on Sunday mornings," Montezemolo is quoted by Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport.
