13 is my wifes lucky number too :roll: Passed her driving test on the 13th and says good things generally happen to her on the 13th... if that's a hint for flowers it's never happened lol

No 0?

I did initially wonder where red 5 was but respect to SeaBass.

I'm not surprised that number 2 wasn't chosen. No driver wants to be remembered as No.2 with all it's connotations of second place, runner up, not quite good enough etc.

Strange the Torro Rosso drivers end up with sequential numbers.

13 has always been my favourite number
Never disliked an F1 driver as much as Maldonado, now he's no.13 and in a Lotus :(
The bright side is think im old/unfashionable enough now to wear dodgy motorsport apparel.
