The FIA published on Wednesday the 2012 Formula One World Championship entry list.

However it has many blanks to fill: three teams are yet to confirm both their drivers while Lotus F1 – presently known as LRGP – still has a seat up for grabs.

The four top teams will stick with their current driver line-ups, as well as Sauber and Caterham, although rumours say Red Bull’s protégé Daniel Ricciardo is on his way to the latter, where he would replace Jarno Trulli.

Pedro de la Rosa is not listed as an HRT driver, despite his having a contract. Interestingly enough, the Spanish team hasn’t nominated its engine supplier yet.
