If you had to choose between unlimited discretionary economic capacity and the possession of the greatest driving talent in the known universe, you should take the money. You will need sufficient funds to pay for seat time to expose your talent to the right crowd. Easier for a Saudi prince to get a leg up in F1 than a talented peon. For talent alone, any more I think you have to start and impress in karts as a six year old. Wasn't one of the current F1 guys (Hamilton?) put under contract while he was still in karts? There are no doubt folks in and around SBR who might have developed the skills and talent for that level but were never able to put together the formidable financial backing.
