Ferrari boss hits out at slow cars

After seeing Fernando Alonso's chances of victory in the Canadian Grand Prix wrecked when, on two separate occasions, he lost time and momentum behind backmarkers, di Montezemolo 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 though 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.

ED: In all fairness, people seem to be forgetting Alonso was fighting Buemi for the lead of the race, so Seb had every right to hold his line there.

I don't think he's complaining about that, I think Montemezolo is raging at the Lotus and Karun Chandhoks slowing of Alonso potentially causing Button to pass him.

He does have a point though, the top 6 GP2 cars were actually FASTER than the bottom 4 or 5 F1 cars in Monaco Quali.
