5Daniel Ricciardo 19.25 18 (2) 22 (1) 18.18%

Comparing the rookies with their teammates:

For the Grid:

1. Maldonado had a higher average grid position over Barrichello (+0.26)
It is also worth noting that Maldonado managed to make it into Q3 3 times while Barrichello never did
2. Ricciardo had a higher average gird position over Liuzzi over the 10 races they were teammates (+0.20)
3. di Resta had a slighlty lower average grid position than Sutil (-0.11)
It is worth noting that this is the closest gap between teammates for the entire field
4. Perez had a slightly lower average grid position than Kobayashi (-0.16)
5. d'Ambrosio had a lower average grid position than Glock (-1.16)

For the races:

3 of the 5 rookies scored points

1. di Resta was outscored by Sutil 27 to 42 - A ratio of 0.64
2. Perez was outsored by Kobayashi 30 to 14 - A ratio of 0.47
It is worth noting that Perez didn't take part in Monaco and Canada where Kobayashi scored 16 points. If those points are excluded then they would be on equal points (14 each)
3. Maldonado was outscored by Barrichello 4 to 1 - A ratio of 0.25

Ricciardo and d'Ambrosio didn't score points and neither did their teammates so a comparison cannot be made

DNF ratio:

1. di Resta - 5.26% - 1 retirement out of 19
It is worth noting that di Resta has completed the most number of kilometres of the entire field just ahead of Alonso and Button
2. d'Ambrosio - 15.79% - 3 retirements out of 19
3. Perez - 17.65% - 3 retirements out of 17
4. Ricciardo - 18.18% - 2 retirements out of 11
5. Maldonado - 31.58% - 6 retirments out of 19
