With Fernando Alonso's move to Aston Martin, here is what we know and what is rumored — about all 20 F1 seats for the 2023 season

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Max Verstappen (1), Sergio Perez (3)

2023 drivers under contract: Verstappen, Perez

What we know: Both drivers are under contract for the 2023 season. Verstappen, the defending F1 champion, signed an extension in March that will keep him with Red Bull at least through the 2028 season. In May, the team announced a new extension for Perez to keep him with the team through 2024.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Charles Leclerc (2), Carlos Sainz (5)

2023 drivers under contract: Leclerc, Sainz

What we know: Both drivers are under contract for the 2023 season. Sainz signed an extension in April to keep him with Ferrari through the 2024 season. Leclerc is also under contract through the 2024 season. However, one report says Leclerc can opt out of the deal at the end of this season if Ferrari finishes fourth or lower in the standings. That seems unlikely.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): George Russell (4), Lewis Hamilton (6)

2023 drivers under contract: Russell, Hamilton

What we know: According to F1, Hamilton is under contract through the 2023 season, having signed a 2-year extension during the 2021 season. Russell, in his first season with Mercedes, is signed through 2024.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Esteban Ocon (8), Fernando Alonso (10)

2023 drivers under contract: Ocon

What we know: According to F1, Ocon is under contract with Alpine through the 2024 season. Alonso announced that he will be driving for Aston Martin in 2023 to replace the retiring Sebastian Vettel.

The most common name linked to Alonso's soon-to-be-vacant seat is Oscar Piastri, who is currently Alpine's reserve driver. Piastri won the F3 championship in 2020 and the F2 title in 2021.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Lando Norris (7), Daniel Ricciardo (12)

2023 drivers under contract: Norris, Ricciardo (maybe)

What we know: Norris signed an extension earlier this year that will keep him with McLaren through at least 2025. Ricciardo has a contract for the 2023 season and has repeatedly said he plans to honor the deal. Still, rumors persist that the two sides are not on the same page and Ricciardo may be bluffing to force a better buyout.

Several young drivers have been linked to Ricciardo's seat for either 2023 or 2024, including IndyCar drivers Pato O'Ward (already drives for McLaren), Colton Herta (recently test drove for McLaren), and Alex Palou (signed to join McLaren in 2023). Williams driver Alex Albon and Alpine reserve driver Oscar Piastri have also been mentioned as potential replacements for Ricciardo.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Valtteri Bottas (9), Zhou Guanyu (17)

2023 drivers under contract: Bottas

What we know: Bottas, in his first year with Alfa Romeo, is under contract for 2023, and both sides seem happy with the move. Zhou, in his first F1 season, is not signed for 2023. However, he has driven better than his place in the standings might suggest, thanks to some bad luck, and is expected to remain with the team next season.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Kevin Magnussen (11), Mick Schumacher (15)

2023 drivers under contract: Magnussen

What we know: Magnussen is under contract for the 2023 season, having signed with the team on the eve of the schedule to replace Nikita Mazepin. Schumacher is not signed for next season. After struggling to start the season, Schumacher has shown better form recently.

Team principal Guenther Steiner said that the team would decide on Schumacher's future during the summer break over the next few weeks. He also noted that the team has not spoken to other drivers about replacing Schumacher.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Pierre Gasly (13), Yuki Tsunoda (16)

2023 drivers under contract: Gasly

What we know: After a strong 2021 season, Gasly was rumored to be on the move following this season since no openings were expected on Red Bull's top team in the near future. However, after a slow start to the 2022 season, Gasly re-signed with AlphaTauri to remain with the team through next season.

Tsunoda's contract expires at the end of the season, and it is still up in the air if he will be back with Red Bull's sister team next year. Team advisor Helmut Marko recently called Tsunoda a "problem child" over his in-race radio outbursts. Team principal Franz Tost said if he can eliminate some of the crashes, he has "a good chance" to remain with the team.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Sebastian Vettel (14), Lance Stroll (18)

2023 drivers under contract: Stroll, Fernando Alonso

What we know: Alfa Romeo announced during the summer break that two-time F1 champion Fernando Alonso would replace the retiring Sebastian Vettel next season under a multi-year contract. Lance Stroll is under contract through 2023, and as long as his dad continues to write the checks, he will be with the team longer than that.

2022 lineup (current championship standing): Alex Albon (19), Nicholas Latifi (20).

2023 drivers under contract: None

What we know: Both Albon and Latifi have contracts that expire at the end of the season. Albon would seem the likelier candidate to remain with the team next season. Latifi appears to be on the way out, and several young drivers have been rumored to replace him.

Among the names linked to Latifi's seat are Felipe Drugovich (championship leader in F2), American Logan Sargeant (third in F2 and member of Williams driver academy), Oscar Piastri (2021 F2 champion and current Alpine reserve driver), and Nyck de Vries (Mercedes reserve and Formula E driver).

Piastri was most strongly linked to a Williams seat for 2023 on a loan from Alpine. However, it would seem that a move is now up in the air with Alonso creating an unexpected vacancy at Alpine.
