  • Sometimes it's superstition, other times it is for intensely personal reasons - every driver has to have one and where there's a number there's a back story.

    Now that Kimi's retired, Charles can claim the number 7 in 2024, as long as Kimi doesn't come back (though that's highly unlikely). But Kimi using number 7 was quite appropriate, as he won his world championship in 2007, in his 7th year of competing in F1. Excluding 2013, when he was automatically assigned 7 based on championship position from 2012, after choosing it as his personal race number in 2014, he raced for 7 further seasons. A lot of special memories.

    In 2013 Lotus was 4th in the Constructors so they were given 7 and 8, so Kimi just kept 7 into 2014 when moving back to Ferrari and his teammate Grosjean kept 8 as well.

    I used to think that Fernando's number 14 had something to do with footballer Xabi Alonso, who was identical with that number. They are both Spanish and are the same age, even the same surnames.. also legends in their sports.

    Everyone keeps memeing the fact Kimi just took 7 away from so many people that wanted it, but I think it's really touching that he specifically left 6 for Rosberg because it was his father's number. The Iceman might not be all that icy inside after all.
