why is there no car numbered 13 on the grid?
NG said on 22nd June 2010, 10:07
coz 13 is an unlucky number, I guess…
bob said on 3rd August 2010, 21:10
because it is unlucky and in memory of a nother driver
Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine) said on 20th September 2010, 11:32
See: Your questions: F1 and the number 13
miguelF1O (@) said on 31st January 2011, 0:03
why is Ferrari with numbers 5 and 6 ? I thought that the numbers were decided by the top driver at every team not only for the champ.
mfDB said on 1st February 2011, 20:49
Top driver gets #1 and his teammate is #2 (vettel and Webber), after that it goes by the last years constructor points…mclaren was 2nd, so they are 3/4, Ferrari was 3rd so they are 5/6.
Muneeb said on 27th November 2010, 4:02
because you are number 13
Hamood said on 23rd December 2010, 11:10
Unlucky 13……No. 13 is considered as unlucky number in many nations. In UK you can find 12 followed by 12a than 14…..
Megawatt Herring said on 18th February 2011, 15:41
If you are ever unlucky enough to fly on Ryan Air take a look at the seat numbers.

I think if you’re unlucky enough to fly on RyanAir, your luck can’t get much worse!
Muffin (@muffin) said on 27th March 2011, 11:22
Why is there no 13th row in a plane?
Nobody wants that number I guess.
Jarz said on 25th June 2010, 21:02

Will Kimi be back?
hahvb said on 29th November 2010, 13:21
I hope not I hate him
Daring Skibby said on 17th February 2011, 13:40
no doubt he would hate you too!!
Seth said on 8th December 2010, 21:25
I doubt it unfortunately. I love Kimi and still think he is one of the best formula 1 drivers ever. But Kimi I think is driven and motived differently than most of the drivers and he has given the impressions that he will only drive for a competitive team and that is not likely in 2011 as most have their line-up confirmed and I am not even sure Kimi really wants to.
hahvb said on 30th January 2011, 10:46
kimi good 2007 was a fluke kimi is rubbish
sebastian said on 12th December 2010, 2:57

Durango have collabarated with JV and Stefan with Nakajima. But Cypher have been quite quit.
Sameer Cader said on 8th August 2010, 6:24

Sameer Cader said on 18th August 2010, 2:39
Mercedes Grand Prix Have Released Nick Heidfeld To Test Pirelli Tyres at Mugello In a Toyota. Which Gives Him an advantage to join F1 Next Year

The Sri Lankan said on 16th January 2011, 18:20

CC said on 7th September 2010, 12:58
Lotus test drivers,
16 year old Nabil Jeffri should be on the list.
Keith Collantine (@keithcollantine) said on 25th October 2010, 14:01
He’s not an official test driver, he just did one straight-line test.

nikhil said on 20th September 2010, 12:25

hahvb said on 29th November 2010, 15:26
glock a more quicker car then virgin! give em a chance it was only there first year
Sameer Cader said on 21st September 2010, 1:04
Well Shumacher Has A Contract With Mercedes Until 2012
So I Guess He Might Be Joint Rosberg For Those 2 Years
Vitantonio Liuzzi Also Has Contract With Force India For 2011 So It Sutil Who Might Loose His Drive May Be Paul Di Resta But Definitly Not Karun Chandhok
Nick Heidfeld Looks Like He Will Join Sauber For 2011
Partnering Kamui Kobayashi and Timo Glock Has A Contract With Virgin For 2011 He Might Be Joint By Lucas Di Grassi Or Jerome D’ Ambrosio Who Drive During Practice For Virgin During The Up Coming Four Races
rossmc66 said on 23rd September 2010, 15:39
There are rumours suggesting kubica will drive for ferrari in 2011 despite his contract with renault, and massa will move to partner kobayashi at sauber.
This would make way for raikkonen to move to renault.
Sameer Cader said on 24th September 2010, 13:42
That Will Never Happen Because
Kubica Has A 2 Year Contract With Renault
and Massa Has a 2 Year Contract Witth Ferrari
hahvb said on 29th November 2010, 15:29
but kimi denied renult rumor
