A year or two in a mid or back of the pack car didn't do LeClerc, Alonso, Russell, Webber, Verstappen, Senna, Damon Hill and many others any harm at all.

In fact I would say that successful drivers who didn't have some time spent in a mid pack team at the start of their career are in the minority. Coulthard & Hamilton - any others in the modern era?
