Is number 69 allowed in F1?
Currently, drivers are allowed to pick their own number for their career from 0, 2 through 99. Only the World Champion is allowed to use number 1. F1 drivers are allowed to choose a number between 2 and 99, which remain theirs for the duration of their career in the sport.Drivers were initially allowed to choose any number from 2 through 99; number 1 is reserved for the World Drivers’ Champion. The number 17 was retired in 2015 as a mark of respect to Jules Bianchi, who died that year from injuries sustained in a crash at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix while carrying the number.
Is there a max age for F1?
No official age limit exists for F1 drivers. With an FIA Super Licence, anyone can race—think Kimi Räikkönen, who competed into his 40s, showing age doesn’t cap talent. Verstappen consequently became the youngest F1 ever racer, aged just 17, with rules introduced in the aftermath to prohibit anyone under 18 from racing in Formula 1.
