why is there no car numbered 13 on the grid?

22nd June 2010, 10:07
coz 13 is an unlucky number, I guess…

why is Ferrari with numbers 5 and 6 ? I thought that the numbers were decided by the top driver at every team not only for the champ.
mfDB
1st February 2011, 20:49
Top driver gets #1 and his teammate is #2 (vettel and Webber), after that it goes by the last years constructor points…mclaren was 2nd, so they are 3/4, Ferrari was 3rd so they are 5/6.

because you are number 13

I doubt it unfortunately. I love Kimi and still think he is one of the best formula 1 drivers ever. But Kimi I think is driven and motived differently than most of the drivers and he has given the impressions that he will only drive for a competitive team and that is not likely in 2011 as most have their line-up confirmed and I am not even sure Kimi really wants to.

glock a more quicker car then virgin! give em a chance it was only there first year
Sameer Cader
21st September 2010, 1:04
Well Shumacher Has A Contract With Mercedes Until 2012
So I Guess He Might Be Joint Rosberg For Those 2 Years
Vitantonio Liuzzi Also Has Contract With Force India For 2011 So It Sutil Who Might Loose His Drive May Be Paul Di Resta But Definitly Not Karun Chandhok
Nick Heidfeld Looks Like He Will Join Sauber For 2011
Partnering Kamui Kobayashi and Timo Glock Has A Contract With Virgin For 2011 He Might Be Joint By Lucas Di Grassi Or Jerome D’ Ambrosio Who Drive During Practice For Virgin During The Up Coming Four Races
rossmc66
23rd September 2010, 15:39
There are rumours suggesting kubica will drive for ferrari in 2011 despite his contract with renault, and massa will move to partner kobayashi at sauber.
This would make way for raikkonen to move to renault.
Sameer Cader
24th September 2010, 13:42
That Will Never Happen Because
Kubica Has A 2 Year Contract With Renault
and Massa Has a 2 Year Contract Witth Ferrari

Why would Schumacher be number 7 and Rosberg 8. Rosberg has (quite clearly) outscored Schumacher last year, isn’t that why Hamilton would reclaim the top number from Button at Mc Laren?
Benjammin
20th November 2010, 18:46
isnt it because he has more WDC wins under his belt and in button hamilton case hamilton won it 1st

What’s Hartley doing in there? Red Bull did away with him in the summer and he’ll play no further part in any Red Bull programme. Seems good reason to cut the long-haired one from the list…

I wonder why Trulli still wants to be a F1 driver… He had a great talent but lost his chance, A1-ring race with Prost was the symbol of his career.

No. After the team the drivers’ champion is racing for (in this case Red Bull), teams are assigned numbers based on the order they finished in the constructors’ championship.
