But didn't Vettel beat Webber in the 2008 standings? I thought that was always the common method, whoever comes first in the standings whether they move to a different team or not they will get the higher number, of course there are some exceptions.

I think you've answered your own question there.

Well in 2009 Alonso scored more points than Massa did (due to Felipe's accident) but it was Alonso who used the no.7 Ferrari and Massa no.8 in 2010.

Alonso finished higher in 1009, but as Massa was already with Ferrari, he was given the 'number 1' status ie. car no. 7 instead of car no.8.

1009?

I think you both have made a mistake in the posts

I was wrong.
