BTW: number 7 it's really fetish number for Michael. At his last race... finished P7 in car no. 7 with 7 titles at his belt :mrgreen:

I thought Schumacher just preffered Odd numbers as apposed to Even numbers.

If I'm not wrong, the numbers are kept by the drivers. In that case, your assumptions are correct.

IIRC , he has only had the number 7 car for 2 season, had just 1 podium. So I cant see him wanting it all that much. Also the Odd vs Even thing. He has NEVER completed a lap in a car with an Even number. Every race he started with an Even number has has retired of the first lap. So I can understand why he likes the odd number.

laps Lead
Odd - 5111 vs Even - 0

Cool, cheers. When was the last time a double digit number was on the Mclaren ? other than the year after the "spygate" saga which saw numbers 22 & 23.

How do you come to that conclusion?

Red Bull 1-2 Ferrari 3-4 Mclaren 5-6 Lotus 7-8 Mercedes 9-10


SO... good race from Michael, I don't know what the team thought in the beginning with those pit stops, but to rescue P7 in that car+team is a great achievement, and again better then Rosberg.

I wish Lewis good luck next year(s), he will need it, I'm off to the Sauber/Lotus thread.

exactly.... and about team. Next season i will stop support Mercedes but i also pray for Lewis! he deserve to be in a good car because he's so fast (maybe he need a little more brain :mrgreen: )
At the moment Mercedes are on lowest point possible so next season will be a step forward for them....oh Nico too deserve a good car :roll:

I want to Thank Mercedes for those 3 years. They ruined my days and most important Michael career with few exceptions( Canada 2011 Monaco 2012 Valencia 2012)

As I recall the WDC has number 1, his team mate is number 2.

The remaining cars follow the WCC order. In the olden days, only the WDC changed number and the other cars stayed the same.
