Red Bull
1. Sebastian Vettel
2. Jaime Alguersuari
Reasoning: Well, Vettel is the world champion, I don’t have to say anything else to that. And I was convinced by Alguersuari’s effort. He would surely fare better against Vettel than Webber did.
Mclaren
3. Lewis Hamilton
4. Vitaly Petrov
Reasoning: Anything to get Button of the grid and why not, surely a Russian top-level driver would be worth something.
Ferrari
5. Fernando Alonso
6. Sergio Perez
Reasoning: Sergio Perez had a good rookie season and can perform on the same level that the 2011 Massa can – I would put Bianchi in there, but I fear that Alonso would damage his reputation.
Mercedes
7. Michael Schumacher
8. Ralf Schumacher
Reasoning: Well, why not?
Lotus
9. Nick Heidfeld
10. Romain Grosjean
Reasoning: Out of the many combinations the Lotus Driver Dices™ throw up, I like this one the most.
Force India
11. Paul Di Resta
12. Jerome D’Ambrosio
Reasoning: Nico Hülkenberg is horrendously overrated and therefore I think his space on the grid should go to a rookie who is not, Jerome seems to be that man.
Sauber
14. Kamui Kobayashi
15. Jules Bianchi
Reasoning: As I have said a number of times before, we are seeing a possible future world champion in Jules Bianchi…
Toro Rosso
16. Miguel Molina
17. Jean-Eric Vergne
Reasoning: Paul Di Resta looked good coming from DTM and Miguel Molina has shown promise there, I think he could cut it in F1.
Williams
18. Rubens Barrichello
19. Pastor Maldonado
Reasoning: One. More. Season.
Caterham
20. Heikki Kovalainen
21. Takuma Sato
Reasoning: Takuma Sato is awesome and Jarno Trulli is not, that should suffice.
HRT
22. Narain Karthikeyan
23. Pedro De La Rosa
Reasoning: Well, there is no rational reason to use Karthikeyan, although his performance at his home race was very good, but I feel like doing so, because the other candidates do not look that interesting.
Marussia
24. Timo Glock
25. Charles Pic
Reasoning: I fail to care about Marussia, Timo Glock and/or Charles Pic and so I figured I might leave that unchanged.
