The Numbers Game

Maybe my favourite rule change

in F1 this year,

is the permanent number choices

that only take the drivers thought to engineer.

 

Lewis was set on #44,

because of his days spent in a kart.

Alonso's #14 is for the same reason,

a number that's close to his heart.

 

Seb stays as #1,

but has #5 for when his crown is taken.

Teammate Dan has opted for #3,

and despite the new challenge seems unshaken.

 

Jenson's been sentimental,

picking the number he won his title with #22,

as has Rosberg picking his dad's #6

maybe we'll see a bit of deja vu?

 

Pastor's gone and picked

a slightly worrying #13.

Romain's picked #8 for his son,

along with many other reasons in between...

 

The Finnish champ Kimi,

has stuck with last years #7,

and on Perez's Force India

you will see his karting number 11.

 

McLaren's Magnussen has chosen #20

the number he held taking his Renault title.

Other rookie Ericsson will have #9;

impressing in his first season with Caterham will be vital!

 

Both Bottas and Chilton have taken the social media approach,

incorporating their numbers into their names.

You will now see #BO77AS and #M4X trending,

its just a bit of fun and games...

 

The Toro Rosso pairing,

have chosen the numbers #25 and #26.

While at Sauber Esteban and Sutil have picked #21 and #99

Lets hope the new teammates click!

 

Hulkenberg has gone with the famous #27

maybe in hope of a future Ferrari drive..?

Massa has chosen #19 for a new start with Williams,

this may be the year we see him thrive!

 

Returning Kamui has gone for #10,

and Jules Bianchi was the unlucky one.

#17 wasn't even in his top three choices,

fingers crossed it brings him luck once the season has begun!
