1) Likes an odd number now given number "7". 2) He has won 7 titles. 3) This season marks 7 years since he won his last title. 4) 20 years since he made his debut in F1. I am also a teeny bit superstitious, may be thats why I think this year will bring him his 8th title... Or he may just finish 7th in the WDC....
Like Vettel said, it doesn't matter what number you have on your car. I still find it slightly pathetic that nobody ever takes the No. 13.
Also on the number 7 thing, I broke a mirror about 12 years ago, my luck has been a lot worse in the last 5 years than it was in the seven that preceded them. There's no such thing as omens and portents and fate. It's codswallop.
Still bull. He'd have won because over the course of the season the Schumacher/Mercedes package was better than all the others, and he'd have won it irrespective of the number on his car.
Last season a lot of people were saying Alonso would win the Championship because he won the first race. That stat would have been little comfort when he spent an hour looking up Vitaly Petrov's diffuser.
