Looks like Ferrari was allocated number 99 for their test/reserve-drivers.
99 was used by Adrian Sutil during the 2014 season and became available for 2017 since he didn’t start a race in 2015 or 2016.

Looks like McLaren still has 47 for their test/reserve drivers. I didn’t see a number on either the Toro Rosso or the Force India.

Celis’ Force India has number 34 on it. It’s difficult to spot as all the pictures of Celis are from a low angle. But on this: one, you can just see it on the beginning of the horizontal part of the nose.

Galeal and Celis should be nowhere near an F1 car.

Why not? Don’t they have a Superlicence?

I have been waiting for someone to explain why Galeal and Celis shouldn’t be allowed to drive an F1 car at a designated test session, but no one has an answer. I can only conclude there isn’t any reason a team shouldn’t utilise the services of these drivers.
My congratulations to those drivers for getting the chance to drive an F1 car and I hope they get a seat in the future.

Nope, they can test but not race, Galeal is nowhere near the s-license

Great opportunity for Turvey… not so good for Button. I’m sure Jense will be fine though, at this rate there’s a fair chance his car might not even make it to the grid in Monaco anyway!

Great opportunity to look at the scenery? I don’t suppose you mean, drive the car, because he’s only done 2 installation laps all day.
