Definitely a Lotus. That accident was at Jerez, 1990.

I'd add some other names.
Karl Wendlinger and Christian Fittipaldi - none of them just failed to score a podium finish. Both were young, when they joined F1. Wendlinger scored several points in 1992 for the underfunded March team. In 1993 in the Sauber he was on quite several occasions on the picture and for example Michael Andretti took him out at Donington while driving 4th. He also had a good start into 1994 and at Imola just missed out of podium, finishing right of behind Häkkinen. Without that Monaco crash he could have had a promising career.
And on the other hand Christian. In 1993 and 1994 he did a decent job in his Minardi and Footwork respectively, finishing in the points on several occasions and beating his team-mate. For some reason top teams didn't pay attention on him and he decided to leave for CART...
And of course Esteban Tuero. IMO he was not much less impressive on his debut season with Minardi than Alonso 3 years later at the same age and in the same team. Esteban got slightly injured at the Suzuka accident with Takagi and that is said to be one of the reasons, why he decided to quit from F1. By the way - Minardi had offered him contract for 1999 as well.
IMO all of them had potential to get a seat in a top team and show decent form there.

Stefan Bellof... If he hadn't got his fatal crash in Spa 1985 passing Ickx, he could be one of the greats, fighting with Senna and Prost...

We had a few French drivers who deserved a go: Emmanuel Collard, Stephane Sarrazin, Romain Dumas, Nic Minassian. Sebastien Bourdais of course.
