JABWOA should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I'm struggling to recall a good example, but there are drivers who are brilliant but not suited to F1 open wheeler.

Peter Brock once said the best driver in the world was probably a tractor driver in Siberia, but nobody is ever going to find him to find out.

However, talent alone will not get into F1. You need a backer, whether it's the Vettel/Hamilton route or Ericsson/Moldynado route.
