The FIA has published the 2011 F1 entry list, which is notable more for what is missing than what is actually on it.
No drivers are listed for Force India, Toro Rosso (although the team has named Buemi and Alguersuari), Virgin and HRT, while there is no second driver for either Williams or Renault.
Aside from the addition of Marussia to the Virgin name, BMW Sauber has now become the Sauber F1 Team, while Lotus Racing is listed – as announced in Singapore – as Team Lotus. Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen are confirmed as drivers for the first time.

So Marussia won’t be racing as a Russian team then? And Renault is still Renault, so I assume this means that the background negotiations are going Fernandes’ way? Hmm…
