Honda have not cancelled their entry for the 2009 F1 World Championship according to the FIA - despite being put up for sale.

Motorsport's governing body has released the list of entries for this year's campaign - with one three slots still open for drivers.

One space is available at Toro Rosso while Honda, somewhat understandably given their current situation, have yet to confirm their line-up.

Toro Rosso are still looking for a team-mate to Seb Buemi and are believed to be waiting on whether Honda will make the grid as they are keen to sign Jenson Button.

However, should the Brit remain with his team, Takuma Sato and Seb Bourdais are the two most likely candidates to partner Buemi.

Honda, meanwhile, are still looking for a new buyer before announcing their line-up with Button, Bruno Senna and Rubens Barrichello all keen on racing for the new owners.
