Here is the preliminary list of drivers for this season as released by the FIA in Paris today. In a related news article, Reuters mentions that McLaren has designated Hakkinen as their number 2 driver, adding to speculation that Mansell will be signed. You will note that Hakkinen is listed as car number 8 on this list whereas last year he drove car number 7, with Brundle driving under 8.
Wendlinger has the same number as he had last year before his accident (29) and Frentzen keeps his number 30. The silly number 0 is now thankfully able to be dropped and Hill now has Mansell's old number.
