Big question will Kimi Raikkonen be any happier this year?

Wonder why (if there's any specific reason) Adrian Sutil chose no.99?

Wonder why (if there's any specific reason) Adrian Sutil chose no.99? Probably just for the crack. It's the highest number he could've gone for. Alonso's number is a lucky one from his karting days, Button's is the one he had when he won the world title, while Raikkonen just decided to keep the same number he had last year. Not sure what the relevance of 44 is for Hamilton. |

Max Chilton has been confirmed at Marussia for next season, alongside Jules Bianchi.

Personally-selected race numbers are interesting, but might be the most interesting thing to happen if it continues to be so one-sided. Shame nobody went for 0 a la Damon Hill. |

That's because they could only pick 2-99. Coulthard had 0 because he replaced a world champion so 1 would not be apt.

Coulthard never had 0. As frag says, it was Damon Hill, in 1993 and 1994, because Mansell and Prost didn't defend their titles in those years. Coulthard had 2 when he replaced Ayrton Senna - the same number Senna had been racing with that year, and Mansell had that number as well when he came back for a few races.

Apparently Gary Anderson has been pushed from the Beeb's coverage this year. A lot of fans are up in arms

Jody Sheckter had 0 as well. Only 2 drivers. |

I'd quite like to go to the Austin race but the ticket prices are just way too crazy. Sorry.

So who's replacing Gary Anderson or is the Beeb not interested in being technical any more? McNish maybe?
