Charles Pic (born 15 February 1990 in Montélimar, France) is a French-born professional racing driver, who currently competes in Formula One for Marussia F1 Team.

Pic had a successful career in karting, winning minor championships and individual races and coming close to winning the European Championship ICA Junior.

Pic raced in Formula Renault Campus in France in 2006, where he finished third. Pic raced in the Championnat de France Formula Renault 2.0 and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 in 2007, and he finished fourth in the French series and third in the championship.

He was signed to drive for Formula Renault 3.5 Series team Tech 1 Racing in early 2008. He was partnered by Julien Jousse, and finished sixth in the championship with two wins at Circuit de Monaco — dominating the whole weekend, with pole position and fastest lap — and at Le Mans. He continued in the series in 2009 with Tech 1, starting in embarrassing fashion, when he spun off on the parade lap in Barcelona. He recovered from a slow start to the season, by winning two races at Silverstone and the Nürburgring, and finished third in the championship. In 2009 he was also a member of the Renault Driver Development.

Giedo van der Garde (born April 25, 1985 in Rhenen, Netherlands) is a Dutch racing driver.

Van der Garde has a successful karting career, winning the Dutch championship in 1998. In Super A he was best rookie in 2001 and world champion in 2002.

The following year he joined the Formula Renault 2000 Championship and finished sixth, driving for Dutch team Van Amersfoort Racing. On the strength of his performance he became part of the Renault F1 Driver Development programme.

He joined the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2004 with Signature-Plus but after finishing the year ninth he was dropped by Renault Driver Development. A move to Team Rosberg for 2005 yielded another ninth in the series.

For 2006 he joined the ASM team, which had dominated the season in 2005 with Lewis Hamilton and Adrian Sutil. The team claimed the top two places in the championship once more in 2006 – but it was van der Garde's team mates Paul di Resta and Sebastian Vettel who topped the leader board. The Dutchman ended the year sixth with a single victory. During the year he was easily in the top four fastest drivers, but bad luck and mechanical problems, like not even starting the Bugatti Circuit race from pole because he broke down on the warm-up lap for the race, prevented him from making the mark in figures rather than 'what if's'.

Sergio Pérez Mendoza (born January 26, 1990 in Guadalajara, Jalisco), also known as "Checo" Pérez, is a Mexican racing driver currently racing for Sauber in the 2012 Formula One season. Pérez, who currently resides in Schindellegi, Switzerland, is the younger brother of former champion NASCAR Corona Series driver Antonio Pérez and is also a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy. He also took his first Formula One podium at the 2012 Malaysian Grand Prix.

Pérez competed in the United States-based Skip Barber National Championship in 2004. Driving for a team sponsored by Mexican telecommunications company Telmex, he finished eleventh in the championship.

Pérez moved to Europe for 2005 to compete in the German Formula BMW ADAC series. He finished fourteenth in the championship, driving for Team Rosberg, and improved to sixth position the following year.

In the 2006–07 A1 Grand Prix season, Pérez took part in a single round of the championship for A1 Team Mexico. He was the third-youngest driver to take part in the series.
