Its not fair to compare Jnr TKM with Mini/Jnr Max to see which class has produced the most British F1 driver. This is because TKM was the most popular junior class in the late 80's, 90's, and early 2000's and MiniMax/Jnr Max has only been since 2004/05 onwards. This means that the MiniMax generation (eg. Dean Stoneman, etc.) will still be progressing on the Motorsport ladder towards F1.

If you look at Junior careers of the current British F1 drivers (inc 3rd & Test drivers with contracts) its hard to say that TKM contributed to their future success any more than Rotax would have:
- Jenson Button - Junior Briton (Jnr TKM), Junior 100B (JICA)
- Paul Di Resta - Jnr Yamaha, Jnr TKM, JICA
- Lewis Hamilton - Jnr Yamaha, JICA
- Gary Paffet - Jnr Yamaha, Jnr TKM, JICA
- Oliver Turvey - Jnr Yamaha, Jnr TKM, Jnr Max

So looking at the above with the exception of Jenson Button they all came through Jnr Yamaha.
