As was the case in 2022, 20 drivers and 10 teams will take to the grid for the 2023 F1 season, but this time the line-up will look a little different.
Four drivers left the series at the end of the last campaign, meaning that four new – or, in some cases, returning – faces will fill the vacant spaces.
Sebastian Vettel opted to retire from Formula 1 after 2022, while Daniel Ricciardo, Mick Schumacher and Nicholas Latifi all lost their seats.
With Fernando Alonso moving to Aston Martin to replace Vettel and Pierre Gasly switching from AlphaTauri to take Alonso's spot at Alpine, Nyck de Vries will join the Red Bull sister team in Gasly's place.
The other rookies will be Oscar Piastri at McLaren and Logan Sargeant at Williams, while Nico Hulkenberg makes a comeback to join Haas.
Check out the full line-up of the 2023 F1 drivers and teams below.
