FIA issues 2018 Formula 1 entry list
The FIA has issued a definitive 2018 Formula 1 entry list, which formally confirms the race numbers of rookie drivers Charles Leclerc and Sergey Sirotkin – as well as the new official names of several of the teams.
F2 champion Leclerc has opted for number 16 for his Sauber, having explained late last year that this was his third choice, while Sirotkin will run with 35 on his Williams.
As expected, Aston Martin has been added as title sponsor to Red Bull Racing, while Scuderia Toro Rosso will now be known as Red Bull Toro Rosso Honda, with the energy drink company now included in the official team name.
Alfa Romeo becomes part of the Sauber name as title sponsor, while McLaren F1 Team re-appears on the list after three years as McLaren Honda.
Sahara Force India is still listed with its usual name, but a change is expected to be formally announced before the start of the season.
