What number would YOU choose?

[henners88]

I would choose number 1, because without being big headed about it, I am the best.

[Finski]

7. Always has been my favorite number. If 'Finski' isn't available its always 'Finski7'.

Happy that my favorite driver chose 7 and bottas 77.

between numbers 2-99, You will choose 1, makes sense

And I quickly remember why this place isn't fun any more and depart......

27 - This number is synonymous with Ferrari and as I wouldn't drive for anyone but Ferrari it would be entirely appropriate.

13 - I've been a fan of the Miami Dolphins since the late '80's and Dan Marino is not only the best quarterback Miami has had he's also the best pure passing QB the league has ever seen (it'll be handbags at 20 paces if anyone wants to argue).

Greetings Hawk, I didn’t know ya’’all boyz were into the NFL down in Oz
Marino is a good pick, definitely one of the best of all time. He is ranked 17th in career passer rating, but those stats can be skewed. I would put him at the top along with Joe Montana, and Joe Willie Namath, who oddly enough all came out of Western Pennsylvania.

I would choose number 1, because without being big headed about it, I am the best.

I would choose #2, because I am sure I wouldn't be a bad #2 driver to you!

Or I would choose #83, because... well... I have to choose a number, right? So why not 83? Or perhaps 59? Why not either?

Or #47, because I like both "4" and also "7".

[henners88]

Thanks Jens you'd be excellent as a number two

When I'm not fighting for the championship and winning every year without the luxury of having the best car on the grid as we see in F1 these days, I would choose number 82, the year of my birth

[Zico]

Number 7

Not for any particular reason that I'm aware of.. It may go back to a model car I had when I was a kid... Stirling Moss's '61 Lotus perhaps?... or maybe I just like the number.

or its the number you had last year and you can't see any reason to change?

... If that was the case yes it would be as good a reason as any but no this is my 1st year in F1 as a complete rookie.

I was spotted by Vijay Singh at an indoor karting event at Cambuslang where I demolished all my work colleagues for the fifth year in succesion... and broke the lap record held for 6 years by Scotkart employee 'wee Jamie'. I've signed as a paid driver but It's not official yet so keep it quiet.. Hulk is actually off to drive for Volvo in DTM alongside DiResta. Vijay has bunged Bernie, I've now got my superlicence and the FIA weight regulations have been changed so that my 16 stone frame will not penalise me.

Kimi already has No7 but has agreed after I asked to fight him for it at Jerez. I'm bigger and stronger than him which combined with my judo expertise makes me fairly confident I'll
kick his @ss.

What are the grounds for preference over which drivers are given the numbers they want?

[D-Type]

I'd choose number 27 as it took Alan Jones and Ayrton Senna to World Championships and in between was used by the great Gilles Villeneuve
