A lot of things are said in the paddock of the Marina Bay street circuit of Singapore, home of this weekend's Formula 1 Grand Prix. And several rumours concern the driver changes.
Jaime Alguersuari
Thursday, Jaime Alguersuari hinted he is set to return to F1 in 2013. He told his over 100,000 Twitter followers on Thursday: "Soon you'll all know where I will be driving next year. Thank you all again."
It is rumoured Alguersuari has found sponsorship that could take him to Sauber.
Max Chilton
The new Marussia Reserve Driver is surely now the favourite to replace Charles Pic, should the well-funded Frenchman move as is strongly rumoured to Caterham next year.
Max Chilton is also well funded, with his father Grahame being the vice-chairman of the Aon insurance group and a big motor racing fan.
Sergio Pérez
The Mexican driver is said to be going to McLaren, should Lewis Hamilton leaves the British team at the end of the season.
Kimi Raikkonen
The Finn is another fancied contender for Hamilton's seat - should the Briton jump ship to Mercedes.
"You never know," Raikkonen smiled. "There are a lot of other nice things to do than F1. Right now we have options and we'll see what happens."
Nico Hulkenberg
Some think Force India's Nico Hulkenberg is the favourite to replace Felipe Massa at Ferrari.
"There is a good chance I will be with Force India next year," said Hulkenberg, "but nothing has been announced yet."
Michael Schumacher
Whether Michael Schumacher stays at Mercedes AMG or goes somewhere else is regarded as a key to the entire 2013 driver market.
So what if there is no room for the seven time world champion at Mercedes AMG?
"I would take him immediately," Peter Sauber, whose Mercedes-backed sports car team provided the springboard for Schumacher's F1 career more than two decades ago, smiled to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport.
