Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
We need those newbies and small teams - where else would washed up drivers go? Or young drivers who didn't make the cut at a bigger team for whatever reasons (incl. sponsorship dough, etc.). Diversity is good. Red Bull once started out as one...

If the top 6 teams had 4 drivers each then the younger drives would go to them. It would be exactly the same except the younger drivers would actually get to race in a decent car and have a chance at being competitive.
Right now they have NO chance at being competitive. It would actually make the sport a lot more competitive. You would see a lot of different people in the top 3 spots after qualify unlike now where it’s always the same 5 or 6 guys.

Formula One has pretty much always been this way, with teams constantly at the back. The path of the Formula One driver was, quite often, start at a backmarker team, impress a midfield team and make the move, then impress a front-running team and make the move. Look at the path of Mark Webber, for example. Started off with Minardi and scored points on his debut. Moved to Jaguar and put the car on pole at Malaysia, where it had no rights to be. This (and his other performances) caught the attention of Williams, who signed him up for 2005. At the time, Williams were a competitive(ish) team, having had many good results in the previous years.
Having the big teams having more cars would be a bad thing for the sport. Look at Red Bull. If they had had four cars this year, they'd have locked out the front two rows at almost every race. Would that be considered competitive? I don't think so.The drivers at these newer teams had no chance of being competitive this season, but who knows what they will be capable of next year?
The sport would die without new teams entering, it's as simple as that. You have to give the new teams a chance to establish themselves, it's not like F1 is easy and they can be competitive overnight.
we want new teams
Absolutely not; I rather have the new teams, in my opinion the new teams have done well, given it's their first year with minimal testing, Virgin and Lotus have done well, HRT have been poor yet somehow finished ahead of Virgin! Next year I suspect that Lotus and Virgin will be much improved.
I believe four drivers per team will be massively detrimental to the sport because the top performing team will more than likely lock out the podium!

Totally agree.. See Red bull team start his 1st season on 2005 claiming 34 points and after 5years they are world champion.I believe four drivers per team will be massively detrimental to the sport because the top performing team will more than likely lock out the podium!
Yes and more afraid if that 4 drivers start the race from the top 4 position, They might just do the parade lap until the end of the race
Vettel would have been battling for last.....and Kovaleinen would have been battling for the Championship.
...It's all about the car mate.

Well yes. And if said top four drivers belong to a team who like their team orders, we'll all know who the winner of the race is going to be before the race starts

Consider team orders were banned and everybody just raced balls out...what a dream...F*ck FIA they will never let this dream come true
