Well, Button made the skip, to quote the most obvious one. And Raikkonen too, I think?
What is very telling is just how few F3000 champions seem to have achieved great things in F1. I mean, only two F1 winners and 3 ChampCar winners between them so far...?
Christian Danner, Ivan Capelli, Stefano Modena, Roberto Moreno, Jean Alesi, Erik Comas, Christian Fittipaldi, Luca Badoer, Olivier Panis, Jean-Christophe Boullion, Vincenzo Sospiri, Jorg Muller, Ricardo Zonta, Juan-Pablo Montoya, Nick Heidfeld and Bruno Junquiera.
It reads like a list of "next big thing" drivers, and yet... Maybe Mr Montoya can crack the mould this year.
