As Michael Schumacher or Pedro de la Rosa did, both drivers were expecting returning to Formula One this season.
Christian Klien struggled to smile on Monday, as he was presented as Peugeot's Le Mans reserve driver for 2010.
The Austrian had held off signing a race deal with the French carmaker because he was hoping to this year end his stint as a formula one reserve driver. Signing for Le Mans would have made him unavailable for June's Canadian grand prix.
But when race seat opportunities with Sauber, Renault, USF1 and Campos were all exhausted, all that was left at Peugeot for Klien was the reserve role.
Asked if he regretted gambling his 2010 season on F1, he is quoted as saying by Speed Week: "No, the chances (of a seat) were greater than ever, with the new teams and the many driver changes. I was very close with Sauber and Renault, but it was not meant to be. Under the circumstances, I would do it the same way again."
Also missing from the Montreal paddock in June will be the BBC radio commentator Anthony Davidson, who has signed to race at Le Mans with Peugeot.
Same situation for Ralf Schumacher . Although he was linked with a race seat at the hopeful Serbian outfit Stefan GP, the Cologne newspaper Express says the German will be a mere commentator when his brother is competing in Bahrain next month.
34-year-old Schumacher's DTM employer Mercedes has scheduled the former 6-time GP winner for an event in Berlin in mid-March, when he will give expert race commentary for a gathering of the marque's guests and clients.
The report was confirmed by official Walter Muller: "It is true, Ralf Schumacher will be our star guest".
