Frank_White should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I suspect that F1 is easy to drive up to a point and for the last 2.5-1 seconds its incredibly hard. just look at Mika's f1 test. It helps to consider that Mika was driving in the DTM for the last two years and yet he found it extremely difficult (read his interview on Autosport) to drive the McLaren.

Even Hamilton said in a recent interview that F1 cars are the hardest he's ever driven in terms of finding the limit.

To put this in further context, I'd wager that ANY active F1 drive could compete very very well in A1GP (even a F1 failure like Alex Yoong) but 95% of the A1GP field wouldn't be at all competitive in a F1 car.
