The FIA has released the 2017 Formula One entry list and it appears as if there are only four vacant seats remaining, one at Sauber, two at Manor, and of course, the highly sought after seat at Mercedes. The other thing yet to be confirmed is the engine that will be powering the Toro Rosso next year.
Before Nico Rosberg's shock retirement news last week, Sauber were in firm discussions with Pascal Wehrlien to partner Felipe Nasr, however now Mercedes has put those discussions on hold until they make up their mind whether or not Pascal will partner Lewis Hamilton instead.
