Only if you subscribe to Bernie's theory of a pathway to milk all the possible money out of rich wannabees.

Otherwise I guess their F3 results speak for themselves.

To answer NaBUru38 question, I think there is a very good correlation between F3 results and F1 results. You may get the odd exception, but if you are exceptional in F3 you will be good in F1.
The larger classes have less of a correlation in my book, less talent depth as the spending war hots up I suspect.

Hill did not have a very good F3 drive and spent a lot of time gaining experience as a Willliams test driver, and Blundell was a journeyman at best.

Clark, Stewart, Fittipaldi, Piquet, Senna and Prost pretty much says it all.
