Drivers numbers

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.

 

I would love to see alonso with the 27

 

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.

Well... if they'd do the cars like this... the number would be fine. This is just awesome.

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

 

Wooohoooo Kimi got my lucky #7 and #14 is an integer of 7. It's going to be a great 2014 season!

 

If 14 is Alonso's lucky number got to look forward to this coming year

 

+1

 

I'd seen a tweet that Bottas wanted 77 as his first choice, just by coincidence that was my autocross number this year.

As mentioned above, since it's just about impossible to see the numbers on the car...whatever.

Update from rumours


Vettel 11
Alonso 14
Hamilton 44
Raikkonen 7
Rosberg 6
Massa 19
Perez 11
Vergne 27 − 25
Bottas 77 − 11 − 17
Maldonado 3 − 18
Bianchi 7 − 27 − 77
Kvyat 26
Magnussen 20 − 3 − 23

 

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

 

Apparently that was just a joke

 

Vergne is not worthy of #27! -End of!

 

Magnussen gets #20.

 

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.

 

Just don't give PI to the Hulk

 

Pie are round.

 

Update:

Jenson Button will be n° 22
Daniel Ricciardo n° 3

Rgds

 

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.

 

Who do we award 666 to?

 

Maldonado?
