It's been on the cards for the last 12 months, but finally it seems that the Force India name is no more with the team opting to enter next year's Formula 1 world championship under a new name.
The FIA's full 2019 entry list was published on Friday, and the team appears as Racing Point F1 Team.
Racing Point is the name of the consortium led by Lawrence Stroll that saved Sahara Force India from administration over the summer. Since then the new full name of the team had been Racing Point Force India.
Team principal Otmar Szafnauer said at the time that they wanted to continue to be referred to as Force India in 2018, preferring continuity and not wanting to confuse fans mid-season.
But now the entry list confirms that the name change will be fully enacted over the winter, although there's not been an official announcement from the team itself.
On Friday, Force India did confirm their driver line-up for next season with Lance Stroll joining Sergio Perez as part of a 'long term deal' for the Canadian.
His old team Williams previously unveiled Robert Kubica and George Russell as their drivers for 2019. The FIA entry list reveals that Kubica has decided to take car number 88 for his return to Formula 1, with rookie racer Russell opting for 63.
Lando Norris has asked for car number 4 on his McLaren, previously used by Max Chilton when he raced with Marussia in 2014. That was the first year that F1 allowed drivers to choose and keep a unique number. Previously-taken numbers are freed up for re-use three years after a driver leaves the championship.
Antonio Giovinazzi will race under the number 99 at Sauber. However there's no word yet on what Alexander Albon will use for his debut at Toro Rosso alongside Daniil Kvyat, who retains his former 26 designation.
Drivers moving between teams over the off-season - such as Daniel Ricciardo, Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll and Kimi Raikkonen - all keep the car numbers they had at their previous teams.
