December 29, 2014 – Formula 1’s governing body, the FIA, has released the drivers’ entry list for the 2015 season, confirming all 18 numbers that drivers will use throughout next season.
World Champion Lewis Hamilton keeps No. 44 next year rather than switching to the No. 1 that is traditionally reserved for the reigning champion, meaning No. 1 will be absent from the grid for the first time since the 1994 season.
