Also, as anyone who is actually in a position to be knowlegable in such things will tell you, (ie those with experience of both), F1 is in a different league completely to any other motorsport series and so no, experience in other series isn't relevant to F1. Much the same as any MotoGP and any other motorcycle racing series on the planet. There is just no preparation that can be made in other series to climbing aboard and racing a MotoGP machine.

nope, that's not entirely true!

JPM has said that driving the cars are similar in Champ Cars and F1. The only real difference is that Champ Cars has a friendlier inter-team culture than F1. Furthermore, if experience in other series is irrelevant, why is it that the F1 Superlicense requires a prescribed standard of performance in other open-wheel racing series, and why is it that F1 considers some series to be better preparation than others?

Prior experience in other series do matter. While the technical skills demanded in F1 may be higher and more rigorous than the likes of F3 or GP2, skills in race-craft, awareness, and tactics are interchangeable.

Vettel is the one and only.

he is on his way for destroying the brawn's supremacy.

Then Brawn will need to rediscover their identity. Button will get a Brawn ultimatum - win or die.

Ok point taken. I was overstating the significance somewhat. But the point still stands that experience at lower levels is not directly transferable to a series that makes higher skills etc demands of it's drivers. Obviously a lot of race craft is gained in lower series, and thank god it is, can you imagine people using Matt Neal overtaking tactics in F1 (oh certain drivers do ).
