i guess it depends how good their management is. berthon's shown a huge amount of potential this year, it'd be mad not to capitalise on having a year's experience in fr3.5 and get a potential title winning car. especially since, to be quite frank, there's going to be a fairly epic battle for the title but not very much talent below that. gp2 always seems to be the other way around - plenty of midfield talent and loads of drivers trying to find their feet in their first year but very few actual standouts.

on another slightly related note - i'd possibly argue that gp2 is as hard as f1 to do well and gain recognition in. petrov's battle to not look average in f1 is the story of most first year gp2 drivers.
