  • Part of the same F1 commission meeting:

    It was agreed that a proposal for drivers to change their numbers during their career would be permitted.

    Interesting. I wonder why this was brought up.

    • Sometimes drivers use one number during their junior days but then cannot use it because it’s taken. When the other driver retires, why not try to get that number?

      • 5 months

        That’s a good point. Currently only a rookie can take a retired driver’s number.

    • 5 months

      In order for this to be discussed, surely there must be already at least one case of a driver who wants to change his number

      • I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Max himself, in anticipation of not having 1 next year. He originally wanted 3, but Danny Ric had it, who is now out of the sport
