Well, with Liuzzi confirmed at HRT, the 2011 grid is now full.

So, what do we make of it as a whole?

Like last year, it's mainly a very good grid, among the highest amount of very good drivers ever. With the possible exception of Karthikeyan, they all look promising.

Not sure about the historical comparisons; however, I would agree that the overall quality of the grid is very good and even those that are likely to be towards the bottom of any pecking order (such as Karthikeyan and Buemi) have won races at a high level.

Buemi gets alot of stick.

I think he had a good year last season and proved alot of people wrong. I don't think he'll be winning a championship any time soon, but he's a good midfield gunner.

Sakon's back! (sort of)

I know most people will disagree with this, but I like Yamamoto and have no problem with him being in F1.

As long as he's not driving he's welcome in any team ( at least his money is )

How loaded that guy is thats unreal. Most pay-drivers just come and go, their backers get the pulbicity they wanted (or not) and leave. Sakon is walking around the F1 paddock with a big stack of cash, buying different parttime race-seats, tests, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th reserve seats for the 6th year now. 2005 thats when he bought his first friday with Jordan (the team, not the modell) thats prettty amazing.

I have nothing againts him tho, he is doing precisely what any of us would be doing with so much money, driving fast cars. slow I still cant forget tho that he recorded the 7th fastest lap in arguably the worst car of the season for Brazil 2006. Also he was 2nd fastest of the whole field in the 2nd sector...still dont know where that came from, but keep it coming Sakon

there are two different kinds of pay driver though. one has a rich daddy who thinks the world of his wittle baby boy and gives him a million dollar a week allowance and the other gets their money from sponsors - who gave it to them because of their racing ability in other categories and the promise that their talent has in one day making the sponsors investment pay off

so obviously the second type are going to be decent drivers while the first type are just mobile chicanes
