Ummmm....we're missing quite a few names in there.
No real suprises, but any reason why Schumacher is no.7 and Rosberg no.8? Surely Rosberg has earned the title of first driver after this season.
Looks like we're finally shot of the BMW Sauber name, what a horrible, horrible name that was. Glad to see Renault and Team Lotus in there, although I worry that might change...
Hopefully the newly crowned DTM Champion - Paul DiResta will finally get a seat.
my centiments exactly.Quote:

Schumacher likes odd numbers and Rosberg probably doesn't give a sh*t.Quote:

As for Sauber, BMW had no say in keeping the name that was the FIA, I sure BMW would have prefered to see the name dropped once they departed just as much as Sauber wanted it.
Anyway... back on topic, Is the published list meant also to be the car number each driver will race, The FIA I am guessing only go by what the teams submit. The list also has Jenson #3 and Lewis #4.
So what have we got left
RENAULT: 1 seat
Cant see it being anyone other than Vitaly Petrov to be honest
WILLIAMS: 1 seat
The longer it goes on, the more I think it'll be Pastor Maldonado
FORCE INDIA: 2 seats
Not really sure about who'll get one of them but im fairly confident the other will be Paul di Resta
TORO ROSSO: 2 seats
Seeing they have Buemi and Alguersuari under contract for 2011 im suprised they left both entries blank, maybe Mateschitz is having 2nd thoughts on one of them (probably Buemi)
HRT: 2 seats
Drivers I think at the moment are the last thing on their mind, wondering wether they'll even be on the grid is more important for them in my view.
MARUSSIA VIRGIN: 2 seats
Timo Glock I think is a shoe in for the lead seat but I think the new shareholders Marussia will probably want a Russian driver in the 2nd car and that makes me lean towards Mikhail Aleshin (the 2010 Renault World Series champ) getting the seat.
Force India could be Nico Hulkenberg.
