The FIA has approved a ban on changing the look of the helmet

From this year's season onwards, Formula One racers will no longer be allowed to significantly change the color scheme of their protective helmet, as the International Automobile Federation (FIA) has now included the proposed ban in the rules. Some racers more or less regularly changed the images of their helmets, so there were worries that spectators would not be able to recognize them. The new rules also prohibit paintings with which racers marked special events. The new rule, however, does not specify whether and how the racer will be penalized in the event of a violation. At the same time, the FIA also clarified the ambiguities surrounding the selected racing numbers of the racers. Before last season, racers had to choose a number between 2 and 99, with which they will race until the end of their career in Formula One, but there were questions

Which start numbers were chosen by the racers

formula 1

The FIA has confirmed the selected permanent starting numbers of the racers. Sebastian Vettel will be wearing number five this season, but when he is no longer the champion, his helmet and race car will be adorned with number 5. Somewhat ironically (if we can be a little mean) Pastor Maldonado chose number thirteen, which has been bulging for years it is supposed to bring misfortune, or bad luck. Nico Hulkenberg took care of reviving the twenty-seven that Gilles Villeneuve raced with. Max Chilton is listed as the second Marussie racer, but no number has been assigned, as his survival in the fastest circus has not yet been officially confirmed. Sebastian Vettel: 1 Daniel Ricciardo: 3 Lewis Hamilton: 44 Nico Rosberg: 6 Fernando Alonso: 14 Kimi Räikkönen: 7 Romain Grosjean: 8 Pastor Maldonado: 13 Jenson Button: 22

Raikkonen chose "Hunt's" week

formula 1

More details have been leaked to the public about the starting numbers that the racers are choosing for next season, from which they will race with the same one every time. Nico Rosberg, as we have already reported, chose the six with which his father Keke won the 1982 world title. Kimi Raikkonen, a returnee to Ferrari, wants to compete for the rest of his career with the seven he already wore on his helmet last year, with which his great role model James Hunt won the title in 1978. His compatriot Valtteri Bottas, however, opted for the starting number 77. Fernando Alonso wants a fourteen. The Spaniard decided on this number because he had already competed in karting with it. Sergio Perez will most likely wear number 11, Felipa Massa 19, Jean-Eric Vergne 25. However, not all choices are final yet, as

Racers are already choosing their numbers

formula 1

The International Automobile Federation (FIA) has already started collecting wishes from Formula One racers for their permanent starting numbers. After it was confirmed at the beginning of this week that the Formula One racers will continue to use permanent start numbers from next season, which will no longer be determined according to the team's ranking in last season's constructors' championship, FIO racers have already been able to address their choices . Each racer must state the desired number, and two reserves, if one of the racers, who won more points last year, wished for the first one until the end of the procedure. Valtteri Bottas was the first driver to pick a number of 77 and the reserves are 17 and 11. Nico Rosberg said he wants one of the numbers six, five or nine and Sergio Perez wants the number eleven.
