The two categories where GP2 drivers should come from are FR3.5 and Auto GP. So let's see:
(I can't watch any here in Uruguay, and wouldn't unless there is some driver I was interested, like Esteban Guerrieri. So I'll judge only by recent results.)
Wickens, Vergne, Ricciardo - obvious choices. I'd go for Wickens, Ricciardo needs a second year in FR3.5.
Rossi - By the career results, I'd give him the thumbs up. But he's too young, I'd make him train one more year in FR3.5.
Costa, Korjus: Dfinitely too young and unexperienced with powerful furmola cars. Jumping from FR2.0 to GP2 in two years isn't a good thing. Let's wait until 2013.
Kevin Ceccon - With 18 years? Definietly not! "In 2009, Ceccon took the substantial jump from karting to F3" (Wikipedia) - terrible way of growing up.
Afanasyev - Not sure. Is he any good?
Tambay - Too young. One more year below GP2.
But since GP3 is the official GP2 feeder, let's see them:
Bottas - Definitely yes.
Calado - Age is fine, powerful car experience isn't.
Melker, Müller - No, need to step up to FR3.5.
No F3 graduates to me.
