James Calado
Born: Cropthorne, Worcestershire Age: 23
What's he done?
A hugely promising rookie season in GP2 with Lotus/ART last year, with two wins and two poles, but disastrous last two rounds dropped him from third to fifth in the standings. Was also runner-up in GP3 and British F3 in '11 and '10 respectively. He's the 'point man' for the Racing Steps Foundation.
What's he doing this year?
Staying at ART. With all five of his 2012 title rivals moving onto F1 - four of them with race seats - he's the clear pre-season favourite.
