With Nyck De Vries having been dropped by AlphaTauri and replaced by Daniel Ricciardo, the number 3 returns to the Formula 1 grid for the second half of the 2023 season.
2020/21 Formula E champion De Vries was making his full-time F1 debut with AlphaTauri, but was dropped after the British Grand Prix after continually underperforming.
Ricciardo returns to an F1 race seat after having himself been dropped by McLaren at the end of an underwhelming 2022 season.
Elsewhere, fellow rookies Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant have also made their selections, while World Champion Max Verstappen continues to carry the number 1.
Piastri is the first driver to ever use the number 81 at McLaren, while Sargeant opted for number 2, previously used by Stoffel Vandoorne in 2017 and 2018.
