  • Sometimes it's superstition, other times it is for intensely personal reasons - every driver has to have one and where there's a number there's a back story.

      Kimi actually being a nice guy there. He could pick 6 and force Nico to race with something else because he finished ahead of him but he allow him to take 6
      fun fact: Jules Bianchi also wanted to use 7. That's probably why Charles want to use 7 as well

    Now that Kimi's retired, Charles can claim the number 7 in 2024, as long as Kimi doesn't come back (though that's highly unlikely). But Kimi using number 7 was quite appropriate, as he won his world championship in 2007, in his 7th year of competing in F1. Excluding 2013, when he was automatically assigned 7 based on championship position from 2012, after choosing it as his personal race number in 2014, he raced for 7 further seasons. A lot of special memories.
