Well if you take GP2 as the cream of the crop and have a look at the top 5 of several of the lower formula from last year several of the drivers are likely to be heading to GP2.
FRenault 3.5
Robert Wickens - likely to go to Virgin F1 in either a race or test role
Jean-Eric Vergne - likely to go to Torro Rosso in race or test role
Alexander Rossi - Surely got to be looking at GP2
Albert Costa - As mentioned probrbaly GP2
Daniel Ricciardo - F1
British F3
Filepe Nasr - Looks most likely to be do Renault 3.5
Kevin Magnussen - Renault 3.5
Carlos Huertas - Another of the Brtish F3 Crop looking likely to do FRenault 3.5
Will Buller - ??
Rupert Svendsen-Cook - ??
F3 Euroseries
Roberto Mehri - ??
Marco Wittmann - ??
Daniel Juncandella - ??
Nigel Melker - possible step up to GP2
Felix Rosenquist - oculd reamain in f3euroseries
GP3
Valtteri Bottas - FRenault 3.5?
James Calado - GP2 or FRenault 3.5
Nigel Melker - GP2
Nico Muller - FRenault 3.5
Adrian Q-H - another year in GP3 possible
To be honest it looks like what i woudl call alot of the 'real' up and coming talent is looking at doing FRenault 3.5 for financial reasons. I expect alot of returnees in GP2 this year.
