Viso-Rides a unicycle around the pits
James Jakes-Looks like a bodybuilder. Quiet but fun to be around
Simona-Female Will Power. She's also way better looking in person
Hinch-What you see is what you get
Servia-Always so accomodating
Pagenaud-You have no idea how friendly this guy is.
Graham Rahal-Gets the concept of fans. Spent 10 minutes just shooting the breeze with him in the Ganassi hauler with my father and brother in law at Barber during the rain on Friday.
On the other hand...
Bourdais-While a great driver, doesn't really get fans and always acts aloof
Marco-Hides in his hauler too much. Still acts a bit like a brat

I haven't met any of them, but Newgarden also impresses me as a silly, fun guy.
Bourdais is aloof for sure, especially if you look back to his ChampCar days. But from what I've seen and heard, he's gotten a lot better about that, after some misadventures in F1 and with lower teams in IndyCar.
I've heard plenty of people talk about getting snubbed by Dario. And I've yet to see an interview where I didn't want to punch Dixon in the teeth. The guy is such a whiner. That whole Ganassi camp really.
