Below you will find the numbers selected by all the riders participating in the circus and Motivi your decision. It so happened that several riders chose the same amount: in this case, the right of first purchase went to the rider who occupied the higher position in the standings in 2013.

1 year FIFA World Cup pilot numbers

1 – Sebastian Vettel (Germany) (Red Bull)

Sebastian Vettel will be number 1 as he won the 2013 World Cup. In seasons in which he is not the reigning world champion, he will race at number 5: he already had it in 2010, the year of his first title.

3 – Daniel Ricciardo (Australia) (Red Bull)

Daniel Riccardo chose this number for two reasons: it was adopted by his first kart and also belonged to his childhood idol, NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt.

4 – Max Chilton (Great Britain) (Marussia)

Max Chilton's choice is purely about marketing: in this matter, the British driver will actually be able to sell merchandising associated with him with the initials M4X.

6 – Nico Rosberg (Germany) (Mercedes)

Nico Rosberg's father - Keke - became the world champion in 1982 with this number.

Romain Grosjean's wife was born on December 8, and their relationship began in 2008.

9 – Markus Eriksson (Sweden) (Caterham)

Markus Ericsson did not give the reason for his choice. I must say that in 2009 the Swedish driver became the champion of Japan in F3.

10 – Kamui Kobayashi (Japan) (Caterham)

Kamui Kobayashi he wanted 4 – booked by Chilton – and so chose the number he made his F1 debut in the 2009 World Championship with Toyota.

Sergio Perez has always been associated with this number for several reasons. This number can also be found in your personal email address.

14 – Fernando Alonso (Spain) (Ferrari)

It was with this number that Fernando Alonso made his debut in the world of motorsport.

17 - Jules Bianchi (France) (Marussia)

Jules Bianchi was targeted for 7 (taken from Räikkönen), 27 (warned by Hulkenberg) and 77 (in the hands of Bottas). This number is practically a fallback for a transalpine pilot.

19 - Felipe Massa (Brazil) (Williams)

Felipe Massa used this number when he raced in karting as a child.

20th – Kevin Magnussen (Danimarca) (McLaren)

With this number, Kevin Magnussen won the Formula Renault 3.5 Championship in 2013.

44 – Lewis Hamilton (Great Britain) (Mercedes)

Lewis Hamilton became the British Karting Champion with this number.

77 - Valtteri Bottas (Finland) (Williams)

The choice of Valtteri Bottas is dictated by marketing considerations. With this release, the Finnish driver will actually be able to sell goods associated with him with the initials BO77AS.

99 – Adrian Sutil (Germany) (Sauber)

It looks like Adrian Sutil doesn't have much of a reason to choose.
