Well I also noticed something interesting.
Chilton will be driving for Marussia next year!
On the entry list you can see Chilton, but he hasn’t picked a number yetThanks for the link!
Some funny numbers.. Maldonado #13, meaning the bad luck for those he crashes into. Also noticed Sutil taking #99. Vettel taking #5.
Yeah indeed. That must have something to do with the V from Vettel
Here is what’s been taken so far:
Vettel also won his first championship with number 5 so there is definitely something sentimental about his choice.
Shame Bianchi didn’t get the 27 so he had to take his 4th choice number, that’s what happens when you miss out on a seat higher up last season
So according to the list Lotus and Marussia aren’t confirmed to be on the Grid yet and for some reason it says Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes, also Lotus do appear to be using Renault engines.
I think I have a hunch about why Ricciardo chose #3:
Dale Earnhardt Sr.
@jlracing, @master-firelee – The entry list is just based on whatever was on the paperwork when it was submitted to the FIA.
I notice Daniel has previously used #3 in WSR

Reason for #3 is it was my first ever number in karting and I was also a fan of Dale Earnhardt. pic.twitter.com/Z9zBntEewl
