New rookies for 2012

Nathan Williams · Dec 28, 2011

Which one of this years rookies are you most looking forward to seeing race this year ? Has to be Grosjean for me

Bradley Vanian · Dec 28, 2011

Grosjean isn't a rookie. (Neither is Ricciardo)

Vergne is the only rookie which shines for me. Pic is terrible and dosen't deserve his place.

Bram Hengeveld · Dec 28, 2011

Van der Garde, if he manages to take Trulli's place at Caterham

jean eric verne - torro rosso, van der garde cant take trulli's place at catherham because trullinhas a contract

Chris Jenkins · Dec 28, 2011

Contracts don't mean much in Formula 1. Just ask Nick Heidfeld.

Michael Brown · Dec 28, 2011

So between Vergne and Pic, I'm looking forward to Vernge. Can't believe Pic got the spot instead of Wickens, but Pic will be out after a year, as is Virgin tradition.

Chris Jenkins · Dec 28, 2011

I kind of hope that Vergne has a bad year after his cocky comments after the Young Driver Test. He needs knocking down a bit.

Money.

He's supported by a wealthy French family in the mineral business.

Is there some sort of youtube video where I could watch his comments? Didn't knew about that.

Luke McVicar · Dec 31, 2011

I would still class Ricciardo a rookie as i don't consider a HRT to be an F1 car more of a glorified GP2 car.

Either way the Battle between the two STR drivers will be intresting, both have had identical results in lower formula .

David Jundt · Dec 31, 2011

So, if someone new was driving the Life F1 back in the 90ties, you wouldn't call him a rookie? Oh yeah. Maybe not because Life never made the grid anyway.
