Young drivers in F1

I wouldnt include Gary Paffett in this conversation because well just becuase but I do see your point.

The biggest problem will be for the young drivers who aren't attatched to a mnaufacturer, as the sponsors wont stick around forever. They will just move on to the next hot kid who could be the the next Michael Schumacher. At least a manufacturer will show you some loyalty.

Perhaps the example of Lewis Hamilton will change people's perspective. He has carried on racing almost right up until the start of his F1 racing career, rather than being cocooned by McLaren in a purely testing role. Developing young drivers is not just about making them follow the corporate line, it is about ensuring that they are all-round drivers, and that they are race-fit and race-savvy.
