If Dalmas hadn't had problems in late 88 he is a driver that could well have become of interest to the top teams.
Raphanel and Grouillard were in F1 but not considered top line material.
Perhaps if the likes of Alesi, Comas or Bernard had come along a year or two sooner Renault/Elf might have pushed their cause for that Williams seat.

Of course Alesi did sign for Williams for 1991 but chose to go to Ferrari (story told many a time I know), really would have been interesting to see how Jean would have got on there.
