Hamilton: “I'm not interested in number one”

He would have had the opportunity to replace his permanent number, 44, with the 1 that goes to the top of the class, but Lewis Hamilton did not want to exercise this right.

The pilot Mercedes in fact, he said he was not interested in the matter, preferring to maintain the identity defined last year when the rule was established by the FIA.

“Honestly, for me it is an irrelevant question – he declared to Autosport – The number I have on the nose is much more significant than the symbol of the world champion, which everyone, starting from Vettel and Schumacher, has worn, because it is linked to my family, on my racing debut and first championship won. Furthermore, #44 is new, it looks better on the car and does not exclude my being world champion"
