[Josh Sutill] Ollie Bearman and Theo Pourchaire are both F4 champions, almost won F3 title as rookies and both won in rookie F2 year as 17 y/o. One is (rightly) destined for F1, the other is shunned by F1 + deemed not good enough to have his IndyCar contract respected despite performing well?

Timing and hype seem to matter more.

The “decent drive on unexpected debut due to appendicitis” route seems to be the best way on to the f1 grid at this point.

Do we know which of the current incumbents still have theirs? Obviously Sainz and Albon are accounted for.

Best way to get a drive but going by the past example, seats received through this route do not end up being a long term thing
