Felipe Nasr has said he will not be driving for DAMS in 2013, and it's rumoured that he will be switching to ART, with his Banco do Brasil sponsorship.
Marcus Ericsson claims that the top teams are interested in him. It's rumoured he will move to Addax for 2013.
Rio Haryanto supposedly has offers from Rapax and DAMS as well as Carlin.
Daniel Juncadella, who has been very impressive in F3 this season, will test for Rapax. As his uncle is Luis Pérez-Sala it is rumoured he might be considered at Addax.
Mitch Evans will be testing with Arden at Barcelona, and it's possible (probable, even?) that he will sign for the team, having won GP3 with MW Arden, and being managed by Mark Webber, who has obvious links to Christian Horner. The other seat he has been linked to is DAMS, given Boullier has links to Evans.
Adrian Quaife-Hobbs will be testing for Arden and Addax. I suppose he's hoping that his success in Auto GP will attract sponsors.
Nigel Melker will be testing with DAMS and Racing Engineering.
Facundo Regalia will test for iSport and Racing Engineering. Despite being average so far in his junior career, but his dad's Varlion money might buy him a seat.
Jazeman Jaafar's sponsors (and himself) want him to drive in either GP2 or Formula Renault 3.5 in 2013, with Petronas backing he could easily end up on the grid.
It is rumoured that as Aaro Vainio is managed by Nicolas Todt he will move into GP2 with ART.
Daniel Abt, runner up in GP3, is rumoured to be being considered as a Williams test driver, if Valtteri Bottas gets a race seat in F1 next season. If he does, then he won't compete in GP2. If he does end up in GP2, however, ART is the most likely destination.
Pål Varhaug aims to make his GP2 comeback after finishing as runner-up in Auto GP, but this is dependent on him attracting (American) investors. His dad/manager says that a number of teams are interested.
Sergio Canamasas is also trying to get a GP2 budget together.
For coming 2nd and 3rd in GP2 Mathéo Tuscher and Christopher Zanella will receive GP2 tests. I don't believe either have the budget to secure a drive there next season.
Stefan GP (yes, that Stefan GP) are rumoured to be interested in replacing Coloni on the grid. A more reasonable rumour, but with less evidence for it, is that Meritus, formerly of GP2 Asia, will bid to replace them. Given that any team getting a spot on the grid will have to re-apply for 2014, prospective teams might feel it's not worth joining GP2 only to risk losing their spot after one season.
And that, I think, is all the rumour I've heard.
