F1 takes on a whole new look in 2010 with teams changing identity, new teams coming and a host of driver changes – including the return of seven-times World Champion Michael Schumacher. All the confirmed teams and drivers are listed below, together with the race numbers they will have in 2010 under the FIA rules (which are based on the previous season performance).
Drivers listed with question marks after their names are speculative, based on rumour and hearsay which may, or may not, prove accurate.
The list will be updated as new information becomes available.
