It is not F1's job to look after the careers of junior racing drivers is it?
Morally/economically it might be, but mandating an automatic progression doesn't seem logical.
A prize might be a full house test in a current F1 car somewhere, to get a flavour for the pilot... a race seat has far more financial implications than that.
