The FIA has published the official entry list for the 2026 Formula 1 season, confirming that Lando Norris and Max Verstappen will switch to new racing numbers.

As was announced last week, Norris, as the current World Champion, has taken up the chance to run the coveted number one plate on his McLaren next season.

Meanwhile, Verstappen, who had used the number one since taking his maiden title in 2021, will not revert to 33. Instead, a singular three will adorn his Red Bull.

Arvid Lindblad will be the only rookie on next season’s grid with Red Bull’s satellite squad, Racing Bulls, and he has decided to debut with the number 41 in 2026.

Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez return to the series with newcomers Cadillac. Both drivers will use their previous numbers: Bottas, number 77, Perez, number 11.

Elsewhere, Sauber’s name also makes an appearance, despite the Hinwil-based squad taking on the Audi moniker as the German marque ventures into the sport.

McLaren will run a title sponsor again as Mastercard has increased its ties with the reigning champions. The side will compete as McLaren Mastercard F1 Team.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Toyota will replace MoneyGram as Haas’ title partner, the American outfit being renamed to TGR Haas F1 Team from 2026.
