Is number 69 allowed in F1?
In 2014, it was decided to introduce the current system, where each driver gets to choose a permanent number. Drivers were initially allowed to choose any number from 2 through 99; number 1 is reserved for the World Drivers’ Champion. Number 69 is not officially banned by the FIA, but no driver has chosen it since the system was introduced in 2014. It’s likely avoided due to its cultural associations and potential to be seen as controversial or unprofessional.
