Actually, when it comes to race numbers, it doesn't matter who scores the most points within the team.
If Schumacher wins the Championship, next year Ferrari will be assigned the numbers 0 and 2. It's up to Ferrari to decide who gets what number.
At Honda this year, Honda gave Barrichello the number 11 simply because he preferred it to 12; Button didn't mind, even though he is the first driver.
Hypothetically, if Schumacher were to go to another team after having won the Championship, he would take the number 1 with him, and his new teammate would use the number 2. The rest of the numbers for the other teams would be assigned according to the finish among constructors.
