2014 driver numbers

[Jimlaad43]

Keke Rosberg won the championship in car 6, and Nico is using that number. I don't know if this is coincidence or deliberate, but I'm guessing the latter.

It is deliberate, can't remember where I read that though...

But If Mercedes will win the title this year and only 2 championships ago gave Schumi an almost indecent car I'll hate Mercedes as 1 of my greater enemies.

Yep, he uses #6 for a variety of reasons, including that Keke won with #6

from AUTOSPORT live:
Rosberg has now pitted the Mercedes. Perhaps a good time to remind ourselves why he selected to race with number six:
"My Dad wrote me an email in the winter saying it had been a lucky number for him when he became world champion, but that didn't convince me.
"Then my fiancee said it was her lucky number, too, so that got me thinking a bit more! And then I remembered that I won a championship with this number back in 2002. Hopefully that will be the key to an easy season!"

You might be right because twitter isn't exactly a reliable source.

Also a my friend said me the kart origin. But probably both things are real.

Nothing is true on Twitter...?!

There's a video on the Mercedes You Tube where Hamilton explains the 44.
From karting and junior Formula.

I'd like to confirm that these are the correct numbers that were supplied to us too.

I'm guessing Max Verstappen is car #38?

 

[Jimlaad43]

One thing i have noticed, why do Lotterer and Mehri both have number 45?

 

[theiceman7]

I guess because Merhi is a test driver, and Lotterer was a race driver. Maybe there's a difference in that. They didn't compete at the same weekend either, did they? That could be another factor.

Yes, I checked with Toro Rosso and this is the case.

 

[the_sigman]

Well, it is silly I guess that test drivers can't pick their number

Sirotkin #37
