Steve Robertson is manager of Finnish prodigy Raikkonen.
David Robertson is manager of English prodigy Button.
Are these two related and do they have a background in racing? They sure do seem to have a way of finding talent in the lower formulas.

Ok, thanks Ross!

So, does anyone have an idea of who will be their next prodigy to enter Formula One? Are there any new young hot shots coming through to next year?

I think Steve Robertson drove around in FF2000 in many years.

Steve Robertson raced in 1990 at British F3 serie. That was a year, when someone called Mika Hakkinen won the British F3 title and another finn Mika Salo came second. Robertson was actually only driver who could win a race that year apart from Hakkinen and Salo. So yes, i think he knows something about racing himself too.
