Doesn't really make a lot of difference when you can't see the numbers anyway. How about they put an 18" high number on each wing endplate? Then we can worry about what the number is.

I'm not sure, social media is rife with people complaining about it.  I thought the Medal system was a given a couple years ago as well, but thankfully that was yanked at the last minute.

Still don't know why people are so attached to an arbitrary numbering system that is barely used.

I'd be surprised if there is a single post on all of GP Wizard referring to a driver, team or car by number, and only number.

Even if you don't like numbers for drivers, surely permanent numbers for teams makes sense.

The site jumped around on me when I replied to Irisado, I thought I was on the Double Points thread.  No, I think driver numbers are being widely considered a good idea, but the dbl points has very little support among fan sites.

Not many of the drivers stick around long
enough for permanent numbers.

Ya think?  I guess an F1 drivers career is about on par with the average footballer soccer or hockey player...
