    Wellll Hamilton and Verstappen were the only ones with the opportunity to choose. Technically Rosberg too, but of course he retired.

      Don’t forget about Seb. He was the first person eligible to chose between their personal number and the Champions #1 for the 2014 season (and he went with #1).

      Out of choice, that’s probably correct. But it was the done thing to determine the driver numbers based on the previous years standings for decades.
