Schumacher recently asked to be ’3′ in 2010, because of his luck with odd numbers. But he isn’t the only person/team to be passionate about squiggles.
Ferrari
After the tragic death of Gilles Villeneuve, the legacy was carried forward as the Maranello team insisted on keeping 27 and 28 on the cars, Jean Alesi having a famous win in 27 on Gilles home turf. This finally ended when Schumi brought 1 with him from Benetton as world champion, and the numbers have had the championship system ever since
Number 0
Even the number 0 has been used, when the champion retires and the team has no right to use it. It didn’t bring in the luck for Damon Hill, who was the only driver to use it.
The only numbers that haven’t been used between 0-136 have been, 96, 100, 106, 132. Even 208 was used, for Lella Lombardi. What’s in a number?
