Good match-ups.

Glock or Sutil?
Tough choice. In 2008-2009 I would have said Glock, who seemed more mature and complete compared to crash-prone Sutil, but Adrian seems to have improved in the department of consistency for this season. I think Sutil needs another strong proven team-mate for a new evaluation. Currently seems like a match in my view.

Kubica or Rosberg?
Kubica has for some time left me an impression of a more complete racer, but now I have to say it is really close and Nico has improved this year - he has been better in the wet than ever before and even been quite aggressive in racing, which has been a major questionmark about him. Put in an impressive pass on someone at Silverstone and overtook Schumacher at Spa in the closing laps.

Webber or Button?
Completely opposite types of drivers, yet tough to choose between. Webber is better in qualifying, but Button is more consistent in races. Perhaps... perhaps I would believe in Button collecting a few points more over a full season - after all despite not looking too fast, he - like Heidfeld - is a massively efficient points machine, which he is proving again this year.

Buemi or Petrov?
Again a difficult choice. Buemi is another driver, who is massively unproven and needs an experienced team-mate for comparison. Overall both of them leave an inconsistent impression, but Buemi seems to be making less mistakes and I can currently find less driving faults in him than in Petrov.

Hulkenberg or Kobayashi?
For most of the season I would have said Kobayashi, but Hülkenberg seems to be improving greatly lately. The young German seems definetely better in qualifying and if he can sort out his racing too to become consistent in that, I'd already pick him. But let's wait, how can Kamui fare against Nick as Hulk already has a very proven team-mate to race against.
