With today's nomination of the Toro Rosso drivers, Ricciardo and Vergne, we have a better picture of the 2012 Formula 1 grid.
The four top teams - Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes – have confirmed their drivers line-ups a long time ago.
There are now very few seats still available. The Sahara Force India team has yet to confirmed its 2012 drivers. We expect Scotland's Paul di Resta to stay for a second season and German Adrian Sutil to depart.
The second Williams is still available, as well as the second car at HRT alongside veteran Pedro de la Rosa.
