Romain Grosjean, who drove for the Renault team after the ejection of Nelson Piquet Jr., and subsequently lost the drive at the team, finds himself coming back to the team which is Lotus from the year 2012. Grosjean is to partner Kimi Raikonnen who is also coming back to racing after an absence of two years. This means that only Force India is yet to announce both its drivers and Williams one of its drivers, since Pastor Maldonado has already been confirmed. HRT has confirmed only one driver, Pedro De La Rosa and Scuderia Toro Rosso also has to finalize its line up.
