The final grid of the 2018 Formula 1 season
It's official, the full Formula 1 lineup for the 2018 season is now known, and the editorial team at Motorsinside invites you to discover or rediscover it in its entirety.
Two months before the start of the season, the teams are fully ready to get underway. The drivers who will participate in the 2018 season are now all confirmed following the recent signing of Sergey Sirotkin for the last available race seat at Williams.
Thus, after spending a year supporting Lance Stroll at Williams, Felipe Massa has retired and will be replaced by Russian Sergey Sirotkin, who was the third driver and reserve driver for Renault Sport Formula One Team in 2017, and is now joining as a full-time driver.
Brendon Hartley and Pierre Gasly, who made their F1 debut last season thanks to Sainz’s transfer to Renault and Kvyat’s dismissal from the team due to his mediocre performances and repeated mistakes, form the Toro Rosso driver duo.
As for Carlos Sainz Jr, who was transferred from Toro Rosso to Renault during the 2017 season, he will form a duo with Nico Hülkenberg for the diamond brand.
At McLaren, there’s a change in engine supplier as Renault takes over after a disappointing partnership with Honda, but no changes in terms of drivers. Indeed, next season we’ll see Stoffel Vandoorne and the double world champion Fernando Alonso.
The last team on the grid, Sauber, which has formalized its partnership with Alfa Romeo, will feature driver Marcus Ericsson and newcomer Charles Leclerc, who was crowned in F2 this season, on the 2018 grid.
