The words "last" "nail" and "coffin" come to mind   And on F1's grave you can write "Marketing Killed Me"

Daniil Kvjat??? who is that...I probably missed something   

Nobody wanted number 2

Lack of personality by everyone involved I would rather say. Comparing modern drivers and personalities with the guys from the beginnings till the early 90s makes one want to cry   

I really don't mind this business with the numbers - probably has something to do with me being a MotoGP fan

me being a MotoGP fan

That's because you weren't born in time to enjoy the old 500cc 2 stroke bikes   

I remember an interview on the spanish TV with Kevin Schwantz:

TV: "Kevin, it's amazing how you open the gas and control the slide and the wheelie when exiting the turns while leaving a 100 yard long rubber mark in the ground"

Kevin: "Control? What control? Dude, the bike does that by itself, I just hang on for my dear life to it"

  

Fixed numbers in motorcycle GPs is a pretty new phenomenom too. Only Sheene before Schwantz had a lucky number I think.

I think it's stupid too, Another money making ploy, Think how many number #44 hats Hamilton will sell over here   

How is it different with selling a different hat each year with the car number changing each year ?

I imagine it will be like Rossi and #46, Look how many things you can buy for that.
I would rather it be teams can pick there numbers like it used to be.

Total Greed and only done for one reason alone Marketing ...

I Cannot believe there will be no number 2 because of this stupid idea ...
And what happens when Hulkenberg decides that  he has had enough of F1 does number #27
then just get written of ...

In order to beat the rush i have just purchased my Mouldy #13 cap at $200 yeah right ...

There Gradually killing it  
Roll on WEC ....  

I blame Mansell he started it with Red #5

Ppppphhhhh.... cynical bunch, aren't ya?

Instead of letting the drivers pick their preferred numbers they should've given each team permanent numbers. This is bullshit.

I like this rules. It gives us some instruction.
There's a superstitious guy with the 13, but no sexual obsessive guy, no 69.  

sutil, il avait le choix entre le numéro de Lorenzo et le talent de Lorenzo... devinez

Etait-ce utile de choisir un numéro?

Martin Brundle said that it would have been his second choice. Just like this great team JPS France  

Just for annoying Bernie I would have chosen: "(24.567)^2/π"

Noooo The Number and the angle of inclination of the magnetic field
could inhibit or enhance the onset of chaotic convection

the World Champion has the 1.

What you mean by 5? I dont get it

If Vettel Doesn't win the championship this season, Next season he will have number 5 and someone else will have number 1

only now i understand ...


and only now i see we have those nascar numbers. thats fricking stupid.

if mercedes is 2nd in the constructors, hamilton should get the 3 and rosberg the 4 , because ham was better.

i have only one personal number. if someone else had it: i would push him off track        






so honestly i tell you:

whats the matter of that. i mean let the cars have the numbers and theres no fight about it. its NOT personal if u cant take ur own number. in addition: u wouldnt need numbers at the end, the name of the driver is also an ID: and there wouldnt be fight about it.

and felipe massa would be my victim ...
