    What's with all these silly proposed changes? Numbering, pit stops, points... Anyone would think it was the off-season and they were scraping the barrel for bit of publicity. The sport is **** enough as it is right now without needless tinkering to **** it up any further.

    Lots of pointless and quite frankly stupid changes. The FIA doing what it does best.

    It's to create the illusion that they actually do something.

    well, they've lost my vote, not that that actually means anything when the president stands unopposed.

    Alonso's gone for 14. Kimi 7.

    Disappointed Alonso's ditched the pale blue top to his lid.
    Edit: Not sure of the authenticity of that picture any longer, so that might not be his helmet. I believe the number is accurate though.

    7 will be taken by Kimi. 77 will be taken by Bottas....

    Not sure Ferrari will be too happy.

    Bianchi should have pulled his finger out then really and finished ahead of Kimi. 27 it is. You'd think with 20 drivers and an unlimited amount of numbers (or are they limited to 2 digits?), he'd have been able to pick more numbers nobody else had.

    Goes back to my preference of the teams having allocated numbers rather than the drivers.

    Even is a Ferrari driver picked 27 for now, once they left Ferrari then 27 goes with them.

    27 for Bianchi may not be too bad if all the hype about him proves correct as he will then take 27 to Ferrari when they promote him, so it could be at Ferrari for a while.

    It doesn't matter, Hamilton will just moan people to death and he will get his way.

    Lol Vettel wants #14 as well, was 14th in his first season + the date of his first win on the 14th of September and his first world title which was on the 14th of November.

    Since Vettel is the WDCx4 Vettel should pick first over Alonso just to piss him off <laugh>

    Raikkonen 7
    Rosberg 6 (5-9)

    Vergne 25 (21-27)
    Bottas 77 (11-17)
    Maldonado 3 (18)
    Bianchi 7 (27-77)
    Kvyat 26
    Magnussen 20 (3-23)

    The original link was from Germany though, oooooo...

    But I think you're correct #11 was his BMW series number
