Formula One's governing body, the FIA, yesterday revealed the 'full' entry list for the 2005 F1 World Championship, seven places remain to be confirmed for next year - namely one at Williams, and both slots at Red Bull Racing, Jordan and Minardi.

At Williams, Antonio Pizzonia and Nick Heidfeld are the current candidates for the second seat, while at Red Bull Racing, Christian Klien, Vitantonio Liuzzi and David Coulthard are all said to be in consideration, along with Heidfeld, should he be rejected by Williams.

BAR third driver Anthony Davidson is also 'floating around' hoping to secure a drive, following his impressive performances this season during the Friday practice sessions. He was due to test for Williams, however that now seems unlikely following disagreements between them and BAR.

Jordan meanwhile is testing Christijan Albers and Robert Doornbos this week at Jerez, and either could line-up at the Silverstone based squad in 2005, should they impress.

Minardi tested last week at Misano, running a number of rookies, who will be hoping they did enough to get a chance at F1 - namely Pastor Maldonado, Patrick Friesacher, Will Power, Will Davison and Albers.
