2014 driver numbers

So, all the drivers are snapping up their driver numbers for their careers. A couple have mentioned what they want!

Apparently they were told to choose three numbers, first, second and third choice. If two drivers have the same number, the one who finished higher in 2013 gets it.

It seems 11 is pretty popular! :p

Comment when somebody chooses their number and I'll edit it into the list.


1* Sebastian Vettel (Ger) Red Bull-Renault

3 Daniel Ricciardo (Aus) Red Bull-Renault

44 Lewis Hamilton (GB) Mercedes

6 Nico Rosberg (Ger) Mercedes

14 Fernando Alonso (Spa) Ferrari

7 Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Ferrari

8 Romain Grosjean (Fra) Lotus-Renault

13 Pastor Maldonado (Ven) Lotus-Renault

22 Jenson Button (GB) McLaren-Mercedes

20 Kevin Magnussen (Den) McLaren-Mercedes

27 Nico Hulkenberg (Ger) Force India-Mercedes

11 Sergio Perez (Mex) Force India-Mercedes

99 Adrian Sutil (Ger) Sauber-Ferrari

26 Daniil Kvyat (Rus) Toro Rosso-Renault

Think 13 will be avoided.
I don't think so. For some 13 is a lucky number and there will definitely be some drivers in the future to choose it. IMO it has been ridiculous that 13 hasn't been in use in the past :D

I think this is one of the nicer things FIA has come up for next year. The system works flawlessly in the American series and I think it only makes spectators' life easier when drivers can be easily distinguished from one another by their numbers. :thumbsup:

The number 13 has actually been used in the past in Formula One, but is normally associated as unlucky, after the Delage Factory Team (in the pre-war era of Grand Prix racing) suffered two fatalities in a matter of months with their #13 car.

Only 3 drivers have ever used the number 13 in Formula One:
-Mauritz Von Strachwitz (1953). German Grand Prix. DNQ.
-Moises Solana (BRM, 1963). Mexican Grand Prix. Classified as a finisher, despite his engine expiring 8 laps before the finish
-Divina Galica (Surtees, 1976). British Grand Prix. DNQ.

I would be surprised to see #13 in Formula One again, though it would be pretty cool. :D
