    Drivers I think might make it into F1 in the next three years:
    Antonio Felix da Costa (Toro Rosso) ’14
    James Calado (Force India) ’14 – perhaps a ‘Hulk year’ before 2015.
    Alexander Rossi (Caterham) ’14 – still FP1s unless a pay driver gets kicked out, unlikely without 10th in WCC.
    Carlos Sainz Jr (Toro Rosso) ’15
    Daniil Kvyat (Toro Rosso) ’16
    Raffaele Marciello (Ferrari) ’16 – placed at Marussia/Sauber/Ferrari satellite
    Sergey Sirotkin (recent addition – Sauber) ’15 – no superlicence for 2014 (yet).
    Felipe Nasr (OGX, Brasil) – surely a team will take up his backing in 2014. Sauber?!?!?! He could be a ‘new Massa’.
    Daniel Juncadella (Mercedes) – along with Wickens, Vietoris in DTM. Looks like Williams testing, after Wolff.
    Conor Daly (Force India) – still maturing, ’15 FP1s
    Tio Ellinas (Marussia) – lack of money, still backed by Manor when possible, ’15 FP1s
    Robin Frijns (Sauber) – lack of money, else a shoe in
    Mitch Evans (MW Arden) – lack of money, else a shoe in – Can Webber’s backing get a connection to the grid?

    Some of these could just be FP1s only in the end. Drivers who I think deserve a shot:
    Wickens, Calado; Felix da Costa, Nasr; Frijns, Vandoorne; Evans, Marciello; Korjus, Ellinas; Daly, Sainz Jr, Kvyat; Coletti, Leimer, Magnussen.. I would give Stanaway another shot in mid-Formula cars too.

    Drivers I think may have got a shot in the past:
    Wickens, Razia (this year), Valsecchi (likely in a Minardi!), Mortara (same!), Filippi (again!), Vietoris, Ericsson, Bird, Alguersuari, Costa..

    I have high hopes for these drivers:
    Kevin Magnussen
    Stefano Coletti
    Felipe Nasr
    Raffaele Marciello

    Still, I think only one of them (Nasr) will get into F1 next year, but hopefully they will all get a shot eventually.
