Ferrari F1 cars...?

I bought a Ferrari F10 about a month ago, and when I went to use it in A-spec mode, it informs me: "Ferrari F1 cars can only be used for A-spec one-make races for Ferrari F1s." Searching has given me naught but useless threads, so I ask you: Why? Why can't I use it to race with? Why is it only for fun runs? Why does such an awesome car have such a stupid restriction on it?
 
Ferrari license on GT5, those cars cant race any other cars
 
The FIA (I think - basically whoever makes the F1 rules) has license restrictions on their cars - no car can compete with any other car besides other F1 cars (excluding the FGT) and (I think) no F1's can be licensed unless a whole series is put in - which requires another license (like PD tried to do with NASCAR/WRC).

Ferrari - on the other hand - has some "special exclusion" from the second rule and can therefore have their older F1 cars licensed to games without having to have a whole dedicated racing series. They still can't compete with any other cars besides F1's - which only leaves F10 vs F2007.

It's sucks, but it's better than nothing. The only thing you can really do with them is take them to photomode and practice/arcade/online (in an F1 room). Hopefully we can get some older ('60s-'90s) F1's....1000 horses with less than 1000lbs :drool:.
