Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo has voiced his dissatisfaction with Formula 1's slowest cars, protesting that if the competing cars are too slow, they end up affecting the race at the front and should not be allowed to take part in grands prix.
Di Montezemolo had to sit through watching how Fernando Alonso's chances of victory dissipated at the Canadian Grand Prix when he lost time and momentum behind backmarkers, Ferrari's boss has again hit out at the backmarkers.
"Cars who perform at GP2-level should not be allowed to participate in F1 races because they are supposed to race on Sunday mornings," di Montezemolo was quoted as saying by Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Our car's race pace was good enough for victory. Let's hope that, in the future, there won't be mistakes in pushing a button nor in lapping cars that put us at a disadvantage, because we've already gone through that."
Di Montezemolo has said on several occasions that F1 would be better off allowing the big teams to run three cars, rather than bringing in new competitors to boost the grid.
