I see your point but the thing is there is so much talent out there that people really should try new guys instead of turning to people who've already had a decent shot at F1. (Schumacher's chance at Jordan and Benetton in 1991 was quite like Grosjean's: not much testing, straight into a car)

I wouldn't say Grosjean had a decent shot at F1 as he only raced in 7 races at the end of 2009. It was a tough year for Renault as their title sponsor dropped them mid season and the team shifted focus towards the 2010 car with Grosjean coming in and doing his best in a gap left by Piquet. I think he deserves another season to show his worth and if no improvement then I'd agree with you..
