Fernando Alonso is due to drive for Aston Martin in place of the retiring Sebastian Vettel. Mick Schumacher did not take part in the 2023 season. Schumacher was subsequently replaced by Romain Grosjean.

In July 2022, Sebastian Vettel announced his retirement at the end of the 2022 season. Aston Martin have announced Fernando Alonso as his replacement.

On 2nd of August, Alpine announced that Oscar Piastri would drive for them in 2023, taking the seat left vacant by Alonso's move to Aston Martin. However later that day Piastri himself wrote a post disclaiming any arrangments between him and Alpine saying he will not race for Alpine in 2023.

Mick Schumacher, son of seven-time World Champions Michael Schumacher will not race in 2023 championships. He was replaced by Romain Grosjean, who last competed in 2020 with the same team after accident of 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix.

Nikita Mazepin was under contract to compete in the 2023, but had its contract terminated in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
