McLaren wants F1 to support new teams

09 March 2010 @ 13:40 GMT - Roger Loop

McLaren's managing director Jonathan Neale said that F1 should welcome the new F1 teams. He feels that it's critical for the sport to get the new teams stable as quickly as possible.

It will be for the good of the sport he said and it will take them time to get to that point. "As a group we have to be supportive in getting new teams off the ground," Neale said.

"I respect greatly what the drivers are saying and one or two have raised concerns about it, but I think that's a matter for the FIA. We have to try and get as many new teams off the ground and stabilise them as quickly as possible because we need it in view of the disappointing losses Honda, Toyota and BMW [since 2008] is disappointing. I'd like to think that collectively we can achieve that," he said.
