'GP2 cars are for GP2 races' - di Montezemolo

17 June 2010

Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo has once again condemned Formula 1's new teams, claiming that the cars in question are both too slow for the sport and can negatively affect the race at the front of the field.

The claims follow Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix, in which Fernando Alonso lost both first and second places to the McLaren drivers after being held up in separate Turn 7 incidents involving the Lotus of Jarno Trulli and Hispania of Karun Chandhok.


"Cars which perform at GP2 levels shouldn't be allowed to take part in Formula 1 races - they usually race on the Sunday mornings," Italian di Montezemolo is quoted as saying by Gazetta dello Sport, adding that Ferrari's raw pace was strong enough for victory on the semi-street Montreal circuit.

"Let us just hope that, in the future, we won't see lapped cars causing us a disadvantage - because we've had enough of that already," he summed up.
