Superstition F1: Number 13 - Formula 1
He did not appear in single cars for 36 years, and before that only three drivers used it.
La good luck in F1 serious business: in 36 years Number 13 it does not appear in any single car, and until that date only three unfortunate drivers used it.
The first rider to seduce fate was a German Mauric von Strachwitz, Wherein 1953 behind the wheel MSM launches (a car based on Aurelia and equipped with a 1.5 engine) decided to enroll in German Grand Prix... He did not participate in the race as his license was suspended due to a guilty accident a few weeks earlier.
в 1963 it's the Mexican's turn Moses Solanawho chose this number to meet with his first therapist, home, with BRM from Scuderia Centro Sud. He finished 11th, but did not cross the finish line due to engine malfunction, and in the next seven races, despite the change in performance, he finished 10th as the best result. He died in 1969 at the age of 33 while racing uphill in a McLaren.
The last appearance of this number in the Circus dates from 1976 when the british Divina Galitsa (pictured) driving one Sertiz a motorized Ford Cosworth failed to qualify for the home Grand Prix. In 1978, he climbed to 24th place and competed in two other Grand Prix, but never made it to the grid.
Situation 17considered unhappy only in Italy: the French Jean-Pierre Jarier along with that, he ran 41 GPs, earning two pole positions, two best laps and a podium. Five riders also won with this number in a single car: Graham Hill (Netherlands, 1962), Jim Clark (Belgium, 1965), Jean-Pierre Beltoise (Monaco, 1972), Alan Jones (Austria, 1977) e Johnny Herbert (Europe, 1999).
We conclude this history of numerology in F1 with an anecdote: when Michael Schumacher returned to racing in the circus in 2010, he asked his teammate Nico Rosberg if he could get Number 3 instead of 4, as he believed that no rider had ever produced a world champion with that number printed on his car.
Incorrect: during Swiss Grand Prix of 1954 certain Juan Manuel Fangio mathematically, he won his second world title while driving a car with the number four. Also, it was one Mercedes...
