I really hope that Bianchi gets the 27... and then one day joins Ferrari! [-o<

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

69 is reserved for Maldonado, so that you can easily read the number, even when the car is upside down.
So is 96, 8 and 88.
F1 car width now 2.0m (same as 1993-1997). Lets go crazy and bring the 2.2m cars back (<1992).

Instant fan base. When you see all of those 3 stickers in the back window's of pick-up trucks...those are Ricciardo fans right? Perhaps he could secure Mr.Goodwrench sponsorship.
