Paul di Resta (#11, Force India) - Former DTM (German touring cars) champion. Has been described as "boring" in front of the cameras. Extremely conservative and easy on the tyres. Very consistent. Currently 11th in the championship.
Nico Hulkenberg (#12, Force India) - Raced in 2010 for Williams but was left without a drive at the end of that year. Now racing for Force India. Slightly rougher on the tyres and less consistent than his teammate, but nonetheless they are quite similar (and they're both young and with only one full F1 season completed). Currently 16th in the championship.
Kamui Kobayashi (#14, Sauber) - Yes, he's Japanese. Very kamikaze-like, often makes risky moves. Has been underperforming so far this year. Currently 14th in the championship.
Sergio Perez (#15, Sauber) - Pull out your Mexican hats, people. Easy on the tyres, yet very aggressive. Despite being beaten by his teammate last year, he has finished on the podium twice in 2012 despite having a relatively weak car. Inconsistent as hell. Currently 9th in the championship.
Daniel Ricciardo (#16, Toro Rosso) - Yes, as you can imagine, Toro Rosso is like the junior version of Red Bull. Extremely good qualifier and great in the rain, but usually has very bad starts. Very cool and lovable. Underperforming due to a weak car. Currently 18th in the championship.
Jean-Eric Vergne (#17, Toro Rosso) - Rookie. Extremely weak in qualifying, but generally has matching or better race pace than his teammate. Underperforming due to a weak car. Currently 17th in the championship.
Pastor Maldonado (#18, Williams) - Venezuelan pay driver, sponsored by the Venezuelan president and some well-known oil company. Monstrously aggressive, has been described as "extremely dangerous" by other drivers, most notably Sergio Perez (who was his 2010 GP2 rival). Has shown extreme potential, one of his only two point-scoring finishes being a win despite having a poor car, but has regularly thrown good results out the window. Very good qualifier. Currently 10th in the championship.
Bruno Senna (#19, Williams) - The nephew of the most known/popular F1 driver ever, the legendary Ayrton Senna (died in 1994 after an F1 crash, one of the greatest drivers of all time). Severely underperforming. Poor qualifier, poor racer. Currently 15th in the championship.
