i think a lot of this is negated by fr3.5 racing on similar circuits. particularly in 2011. it's only come 2012 that they've drifted a bit. in 2011 you had silverstone, monaco, monza, hungaroring, nurburgring, barcelona and spa. that's not bad!

i keep saying this but many, if not most of the guys who have gone from gp2 to f1 already had connections with f1 teams just like the red bull young'ins do. nico rosberg, lewis hamilton, nico hulkenberg, romain grosjean... if you've left it till gp2/fr3.5 to start showing your talent you'd better have a very big wallet. like maldonado, perez, petrov, pic (lots of p's), etc.
