Hamilton takes Button's number '3'

Lewis Hamilton has been handed the number '3' for his car in the revised FIA entry list for next year's Championship

Earlier this week, the FIA released the entry list for next year's Championship with McLaren slotting in behind Red Bull after finishing second in the Constructors' Championship.

The list saw 2009 World Champion Jenson Button feature above his team-mate Hamilton based on the fact that in 2010 Button took the number '1' after winning the World title.

However, a revised list released on Friday now has Hamilton ahead of Button as he finished in front of his team-mate in the 2010 Championship.

Pastor Maldonado has also secured his place on the list after being confirmed as Rubens Barrichello's Williams team-mate.
