I had the same thought and contacted F2 directly. I did get a response and they have considered this but are unable to do it.
The only reason they cant is that in Monaco qualifying, they split the cars into 2 sessions. They run even numbers in 1 and odd numbers in the other. The system is quite inflexible so wouldn’t allow any other way of doing it.
I suggested they get around it by listing the numbers in order and then finding the 12th number and do 1 session for that number and below, and a 2nd session for car numbers higher than that. It doesn’t allow them to do that annoyingly.
I agree it would’ve been nice to see and have drivers keep the same number all the way through.
Actually happened at Silverstone in 1998 in the wet. Something went wrong with Ferrari’s radio and Schumacher and Irvine were able to talk to each other (doubt Irvine told him to take his stop-go penalty after the chequered flag though!)
Too many teams have only entered for a few years and either run out of £ or turned their back on the sport (Toyota, Honda etc).
For me, it would have to be teams that stayed for a while and made an impact on the sport:
Ligier
Brabham
Benetton
Tyrrell
March
BRM
RenaultI know some of these are still technically still in F1 in different incarnations but I’m talking names!
Maybe Jordan too?
