I'd remove Massa, Barrichello and possibly Button and Webber from the "superstars" list. As for the rookies, maybe Petrov could use some more time, while I'm still inclined to belive that Hülk is a good candidate to become a champion one day, but I wouldn't rule out Alguersuari. He has made his share of mistakes, but he has also done several great drives, and he has done a better job than Buemi during the season.

Regarding possible future drivers, I'd pick Ricciardo, Pérez, Bird and maybe -just maybe- Gutiérrez. Quite frankly, I don't think that the others will have the speed or the chance to do something great in Formula One. Di Resta has been around there for too long, so I guess that if he had been THAT great, he would have got a seat by now.

Interesting viewpoints; I dont think Di Resta would be a world beater if he got a Force India drive, but I wouldn't be surprised if he at least challenged Sutil.

Just to clarify re. the list of superstars; You're right, Massa and Barrichello aren't as highly rated as the others in that list but they're in there because they're 2 of the big names of the current Formula One field. Schumacher is the same, because obviously, he hasn't been as good as the other major drivers this year.
