I agree with Collin and John and a few others.

Maturity is the key. Matches don't always go as expected, partners don't always do what you agreed on or what they said they would do, etc.
You need someone who can work under the pressure, stay under control and keep things moving. The two minute match is not for the timid.

Our drivers are usually also our captains, but that is not an absolute. The reason it that the captains are usually most experienced overall, learn and know the strategy, and can communicate well with other teams. The driver is the leader out there - captains are usually good leaders.

We use the out of season events for training / selecting new drivers.

I think one secret for solid performance is a consistent team on the field.
The four need to learn to communicate and work together, know what to expect of each other, and learn to trust each others judgement and ability. Rotating several peple in and out adds to confusion and leads to mistakes.\
