If Karol Basz is a future race winner then I certainly will nominate Max Verstappen, son of former F1 driver Jos Verstappen.

He is only 11 years, but wins about every Kart race he competes in, even if the opponents are 5 years his age.

Last year he won the Belgium Cadet championsship with 11 out of 12 victories.

Don’t know about this Karol Basz considering it has been reported a few times that there are a lot of Polish fans on here. If I won a cart race or 2 would I be the next big thing? He still has a very, very long way to go. Me personally I’d replace him on this list with Brendan Hartley. Hypocrite though – I am a New Zealander, but he has more of a record and established reputation to back up my claim.

If there were some American Drivers for me to route for I would watch GP2. I would like to have seen A1GP but SPEED did not get the rights. There is a lot of tallent out there but only a few seats.

The only question I have about how good Hulkenburg is, is probably an unfair one on him. It seems every couple of years we have a German driver who is going to be one of the best in F1. Hulkenbug is the latest. Before him it was Vettel. Before that Rosberg and before him Heidfeld although to be fair there is quite a gap there.

The point is they can’t all be that good.

I don’t really think Basz proved himself as a future winner. I am not saying he isn’t very good or even exceptional driver – I’m saying, that it is too early to judge. Yes, he already proved he can be as fast as Robert Kubica, but it is still karting and a long way to go to F1 from here. Anyway, I wish him very well, I wish him to end up in F1 one day, it would be really, really great, especially that I am also Polish

I’m hoping Alexander Rossi will continue to make progress through the ranks! Maybe he can get a seat by 2012? With USF1?

Hulkenberg is amazing to watch – A1GP was when I first really noticed him in 2006/07 I beleive it was – he was just visibly faster than most of the others, especially in the wet – i cant remember what track it was but he was just driving as if it was dry in comparison to the others. And the two races he did in GP2 Asia – well they were certainly a good way to make himself known – put himself third in the title having done half the number of races of the rest – is a shame he wont be completing the series – I dont think the title would have been too far out of reach.

I’m a huge huge fan of this guy – cannot wait for him to make it to F1 – this is the second season I will have been without a clear favourite in F1 – Hulkenberg is shaping up to become my new favourite – so I hope it isnt long before he gets to F1! I’m really looking forward to GP2 this year – I’ve never really beeen into GP2 quite as much as I am this year before – really want Hulkenberg to win it!

He was really friendly when I met him at A1GP as well, spent quite a while signing things and posing for pictures and stuff which always goes down well with me – if Ralf had been miserable when I met him I actually would have cried! Luckily he was very nice and chatty, even if it was only a relatively brief encounter!
