    For what I heard:

    Alonso 14
    Raikkonen 7
    Bottas 77
    Perez 11
    Massa 19
    Vergne 27?
    Rosberg 6?

    Does Vettel choose any and gets to keep it for when it switches to Ferrari? ;)

    Who will get 13? 17? 66? 69?

    Aww, I hoped Raikkonen would chose 44, or at least something with 4, just so I could see the reactions of his Chinese fan girls.

    For those who don't know, the number 4 sounds a little like "death" in Chinese and is considered unlucky. Also, Raikkonen is incredibly popular with Chinese girls for some reason.

    Another silly idea IMO. It's not like we can see the damn numbers these days anyway!

    I guess it's another marketing opportunity for the jockeys, but who really cares?

    Current WDC gets #1, his 'mate #2 and we go from there. No problem.

    Cheers,
    Ian

    I'd have thought changing numbers every year made them sell more merchandising

    Vettel wants 14 as his 1st choice also. rumors say intentionally to piss alonso off.

    By the analogy of Chinese hating 4, 14 almost sounds like definately die in Cantonese.......
    Japanese don't like 4 either.

    Vettel needs to ask for 1. After all he has been using his finger to indicate no. 1

    Are the drivers limited to positive integers?

    There are a few I'd like to give negative numbers, others irrational numbers and a few more imaginary numbers.

    I believe 1 will be reserved for that year's champion if he wants to use it. Same as the way they do it in Moto GP.
