I think we could all name 30 or so British drivers all equally valid. Priaulx, Wilson etc - all great drivers - but they would either not be interested or their current employers would be unlikely to agree to it.
I like the original idea that Surtees had to look at underfunded drivers with potential and on that basis Kerr & Lloyd and now Jarvis were sound picks.
Manning is similarly underfunded but has probably realised most of his potential and as a result now has a full time ride in a major international series - but he was a good pick when out of work, but harder to justify now he has a ride.
So who now - Adam Carroll if he isn't going to Champ Cars would be perfect. Gary Paffett too. The Autosport Award winner would be a fantastic choice as well if you want youth.
