Max Verstappen is weighing up a Formula 1 race number change if he doesn’t win the world title and is unable to keep #1, with an eye on former team-mate Daniel Ricciardo’s #3 race number.
Since 2014, drivers have needed to choose a number they must keep for their entire F1 career, with the only exception being a driver may exchange it for #1 after winning the world championship. Verstappen decided to do so from 2022 onwards after his first title, but says he “needs a lot of luck” to keep #1 on his Red Bull car for another season.
