Only two places open on the 2012 grid

Only two places open on the 2012 grid

With Force India confirming their driver line-up, there are only two places yet to be filled on the 2012 F1 grid.

This past week saw both Toro Rosso and Force India confirming their driver line-up for next year's Championship.

Toro Rosso have made a clean sweep, dropping Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi in favour of Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne.

Force India, meanwhile, confirmed that Paul di Resta would remain with the team for a second season, partnering Nico Hulkenberg.

That decision means Adrian Sutil is without a 2012 drive, however, the German is expected to move to Williams where he would partner Pastor Maldonado.

Should the rumours of Sutil's pending move be on the money that means there is just one race-seat available and that is with HRT.
