Minus the three remaining seats to be filled for the 2014 Formula 1 season, the FIA has released the official driver entry list for this championship year. The list also includes the new permanent driver numbers as chosen by each driver, which they will carry with them throughout their career regardless of team or standing. Number 1 will be the only reserved number, held for the championship driver of the previous season. Placement will remain the same on the cars, while for the first time, drivers will also be required to clearly display them on their crash helmets.
Three-time defending champion Sebastian Vettel chose to forego number 1 in place of his chosen No. 5.
The entry list is as follows:
