Friday, 01 February 2013 at 20:30

With just a few days left to the start of the 2013 Formula One testing season, most teams have their driver line-ups finalised, with the most recent being Caterham who today confirmed Giedo van der Garde to partner Charles Pic in the team, leaving only Force India and Marussia to finalise their second drivers.

Five world champions will line up on the grid - Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button, Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton - alongside, for now, four rookies: Esteban Gutierrez, Valterri Bottas, Max Chilton and Giedo van der Garde. (GP247)
