And that is why di Montezemolo is right. The likes of Virgin/HRT/Caterham just hold up real F1 cars. They don't bring in new and exciting talent, because they just go for whatever driver pays the most money. That is why HRT have NK, and Caterham ousted a race winner in favour of Paytrov. The also rans will run any crap driver if he has a big enough sponsor.
The obvious solution is to allow top teams to run new and exciting talent in third cars, where the size of the drivers wallet isn't the main consideration. We then have a situation where new drivers can show their talent in real F1 cars, rather than pay drivers tooling around at the back, holding everyone up whilst throwing cash at the underclass teams.
