There's been a lot of differing opinion about David Brabham over the years. I thought he was unfortunate to go straight into F1 in 1990 with such a rubbish car, when he'd have been better off doing F3000 in a top team, but then I guess it was his choice. His older brother Gary did 3000 in '90 which may have also affected the decision making.
He then did some of the F3000 season in '91, (dovetailing that with some TWR Grp C rides IIRC) but arguably in the wrong team and car (Ralt) which slowed him up a bit.
A couple of years later he got another F1 chance with the Simtek but that was never going to work out well for him.
There's no doubt he would have done alright in a decent car though as you say btcckid. But there's an awful lot of 'driver cases' like that over the years.
