It is still far from clear how the F1 grid will look next season, but here's a look at what is known, with Sebastian Vettel already confirmed at Red Bull, while McLaren and Mercedes look set to field an unchanged line-up going on what has been previously announced by both teams.

Currently the burning question is who will take Mark Webber's place at Red Bull?

Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo are the favourites, although Fernando Alonso has also been mentioned.

Kimi has been linked to a return to the Scuderia too, while Paul di Resta and Nico Hulkenberg have both been muted as possible replacements for Raikkonen at Lotus, should the Finn opt to move on...

Meanwhile, Pastor Maldonado is expected to stay with Williams and Felipe Massa's future at Ferrari is as uncertain as ever...

The F1 silly season is in full swing!
