Driver Numbers

[sushifiesta]

I've run out of time to have permissions to edit the table but if an all powerful entity feels like adding Chilton that's fine by me!

 

[Mephistopheles]

sushifiesta just quote you own post and edit it, It would be good not to have to keep going back to the beginning of the thread..

Edit

Actually copy and paste it as quotes now appear in a container...

 

[sushifiesta]

Here you go then:

Driver	Number

[TD1]Sebastian VETTEL[/TD1][TD1]5 (will use 1 in 2014 as champion)[/TD1] [TD1]Daniel RICCIARDO[/TD1][TD1]3[/TD1] [TD1]Lewis HAMILTON [/TD1][TD1]44[/TD1] [TD1]Nico ROSBERG[/TD1][TD1]6[/TD1] [TD1]Fernando ALONSO[/TD1][TD1]14[/TD1] [TD1]Kimi RAIKKONEN[/TD1][TD1]7[/TD1] [TD1]Romain GROSJEAN[/TD1][TD1]8[/TD1] [TD1]Pastor MALDONADO[/TD1][TD1]13[/TD1] [TD1]Jenson BUTTON[/TD1][TD1]22[/TD1] [TD1]Kevin MAGNUSSEN[/TD1][TD1]20[/TD1] [TD1]Nico HULKENBERG[/TD1][TD1]27[/TD1] [TD1]Sergio PEREZ[/TD1][TD1]11[/TD1] [TD1]Adrian SUTIL[/TD1][TD1]99[/TD1] [TD1]Esteban GUTIERREZ[/TD1][TD1]21[/TD1] [TD1]Jean-Eric VERGNE[/TD1][TD1]25[/TD1] [TD1]Daniil KVYAT[/TD1][TD1]26[/TD1] [TD1]Felipe MASSA[/TD1][TD1]19[/TD1] [TD1]Valtteri BOTTAS[/TD1][TD1]77[/TD1] [TD1]Jules BIANCHI[/TD1][TD1]17[/TD1] [TD1]Max CHILTON[/TD1][TD1]4[/TD1]

Kind of seems crazy that Chilton gets such a low number... and 2 and 9 are still on the table for the Caterham drivers!

There are not that many that can do a cheesy licence plate type number name based marketing thing.
Can you see any more?

DANI3L
ROSBER6
BO77AS
M4X

GU21ERREZ just about works... maybe.

 

[teabagyokel]

FEL19E?
RA7KKONEN?

 

[Bill Boddy]

VM05LEY, seen it a few times. I wonder if there's a MM version.

 

[Il_leone]

not surprised Button picked car No 22

--------

If you want to pick other numbers then 88 in Chinese is deemed very luck

Two little ducks or two fat ladies - any other bingo numbers we can get Crofty to shout out during the race?

 

[sushifiesta]

According to bingo.org's list of number nicknames:

Vettel: Kelly's Eye / At the Beginning / Man Alive
Ricciardo: Cup of tea / You and me
Hamilton: Droopy Drawers / All the Fours
Rosberg: Tom's tricks / Tom Nix
Alonso: Valentines Day
Raikkonen: Lucky Seven / God's in Heaven
Grosjean: One Fat Lady / Golden Gate / Garden Gate
Maldonado: Unlucky for Some / Devil's Number / Bakers
Button: Two Little Ducks / All the Twos
Magnussen: One Score / Blind 20
Hulkenberg: Gateway to Heaven / Little duck with a Crutch
Perez: Legs Eleven
Sutil: ?
Gutierrez: Key of the Door
Vergne: Duck and Dive
Kvyat: Pick and Mix / Half a crown / Bed and Breakfast
Massa: Goodbye Teens
Bottas: Sunset Strip / All the Sevens / Two Little Crutches
Bianchi: Dancing Queen / Often been Kissed
Chilton: Knock at the Door

Suddenly Maldonado's choice seems more fitting...

EDIT: I'd also like to see the media start to refer to Lewis as Droopy Drawers in interviews.

Someone dragged me kicking and screaming to bingo once, I can honestly say I have never been so bored in all of my life as I was sat in that bingo hall I couldn't even be arsed to dab me cards with the dabber so some old bint sat next to me did it whilst at the same time taking care of the massive amount of cards she had in front of her, I kinda did admire her dabbing skills though....

I've just had a thought, FOM missed a trick on this, they could have auctioned the numbers off and made the drivers pay for them.

 

[Bushi]

So no nick for Sutil yet?
A song of Jay-z spring to mind with Sutil.....99 problems.

 

[Wombcat]

FB with ideas like that you could replace Bernie

 

[FB]

Woo Hoo!

 

[Mephistopheles]

And they could levy a fee on the numbers every year, call it a maintainence fee or something

 

[sushifiesta]

Kobayashi will race with number 10 and Ericsson with number 9:

Driver	Number

KK had a debut in 10, iirc.

 

[RasputinLives]

Made me chuckle when I heard Ericsson had gone for 9. Pretty sure he heard Kobi had 10 and decided to give notice of competition.

Taking a sly poke at your team mate on the day you're signed is kinda funny.

 

[RasputinLives]

Something just occured to me.

We had a situation in Spa 2011 where two cars did not set go out and set anytime in the third part of qualifying and due to this Bruno Senna was given the higher grid spot over Petrov due to the fact his car came first in numerical order. As far as I know that rule still stands.

Bet Funky Lewis and Funny Sutil don't feel so smart now with their new fangled big numbers do they?
