What I was really getting at is that it's unlikely that someone like Petrov or Maldonado would really make a big impact in F1, and that it's the Hamilton and Hülkenberg-type storms thru GP2 that show the real talent, not the hangers-on who eventually win a Pantano-type championship. There may well be some good talent in GP2 (Bianchi comes to mind), but generally if they don't win or at least challenge for the title by their 2nd season in GP2 they have somewhat missed the talent boat
Of course, surprises are always possible, a la Kobayashi...

Q: There have been rumours about an alliance between the team and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helu, who has been looking for a way into Formula One racing for some time. Is there any truth in the rumours?
PS: I could say that we don’t comment on rumours. That could be one possible answer. But how do rumours start? (Mexican GP3 driver) Esteban Gutierrez was already contracted to the BMW Sauber F1 team. We had him drive the car for one day last year at the young drivers test day, as this was contractually agreed and he did impress us. This was the reason why we took him. Gutierrez is contracted to us now and he has very close contacts to Mexico and especially to Carlos Slim. This is the reason why you will find Carlos Slim a bit more often in our hospitality than at those of other teams, but it is also no secret that Carlos Slim is a much-welcomed guest at all the other teams as well.VERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’

Mexico is my adoptive country. And I am very proud looking at Sergio to compete vs the elite. Since Sauber has Ferrari power, I hope he can fight for a Ferrari seat in the future. If Slim gets more involved with Perez and Gutierrez, there will be a chance to keep Slim as a principal. We hope they can get Alexander Rossi in a near future.
A Mexican venue would be sweet. But after what is going on, it might be unlikely.
Y SI SE PUDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
