The Champions over the last ten years all started off in back of the grid or mid-field cars,all except JV that is.Alonso was at Minardi,Hakkinen was at Lotus,Damon Hill at Brabham and TGF as we all know did just one race (well,he qualified for it anyway) for Jordan.
I don't think that it was that much different before then,particularly if you look at the careers of Senna,Mansell and Prost.
