The following teams and drivers participated in the 2007 Formula One season. Drivers are numbered as per the official FIA 2007 entry list.[1] All team details are as per the Formula 1 Official Website, except where noted. Note that there is no driver number 13 as per the historical tradition.
On 29 August2006, The FIA published a provisional calendar for the 2007 Formula One season. The San Marino and European Grands Prix were excluded, although the European round would later make a comeback (see below).[9] The final calendar (above), which confirmed that the San Marino Grand Prix would not return, was released on October 18, 2006.[10]
For the first time in nearly half a century, there was not a German Grand Prix in 2007 after the 2 Grands Prix previously held in Germany begin to alternate between Hockenheim and Nürburgring. Hockenheim controls the descriptor "German Grand Prix" and an agreement could not be reached between the two circuits for the naming rights. The Nürburgring event therefore retained its usual Grand Prix of Europe title.[11]
It had been suggested that the Italian Grand Prix might do the same, swapping between Monza and Imola, but this now appears to have been rejected with the possibility that Imola could again host the San Marino Grand Prix in 2008.[тражи се извор]
