Yep, he was almost certainly a front runner in F3000 in mid 90's (damn quick actually) and at the time a few people were touting him a something of a star.

It seems from some of the posts how people rate drivers according to what they've done in F1, (talent often stymied by the equipment at their disposal and getting bogged down accordingly!) and ignore the fact that they've already proven their ability on the way there?
