ALL teams were new at some point, even if was 50 years ago. It may just be that of the current crop only Lotus have what it takes to go the distance, but the sport would be a lot poorer if we'd never had the likes of Minardi, Jordan, Stewart, Prost and many more.

Exactly, it was'nt long ago that Red Bull were considered a "new team" and look where they are now.

Yes Ferrari are part of F1 folklore but that does not mean they have the divine right to expect that everything they say should be implemented and treated like gospel. Its about what the fans want and us fans like to see new blood in the sport and to see them do well, in other words everyone likes a plucky underdog, Hell, does di Montezemolo, that elitist buffoon even remember how popular Minardi were with the fans?

He just needs to shut up and let the three newbies get on with it, all 3 have made great progress in the little time they've been in the sport and despite their lack of pace so far, they all have big ambitions for the future.
