i would prefer to see Kovalainen with the 0 next year, just to watch to the dirty old man going with empty hands 
[blogs.iht.com]
quite a good read (especially the after comments on superstitions! some of the best bits include (and some possibly quite untrue!!):
'During his BAR days, Jacques Villeneuve used to have two stickers on his dashboard, one saying luck and the other saying ****' >>> rofl!
'Tiago Monteiro is “a hugger.” He hugs everyone before the race'
'In 2001, Ron Dennis had a rule about the shirts … Everyone got a shirt and was to wear it no more than 3 times. It was to be returned to him and he allegedly burned them personally. Failure to comply would result in dismisal! I think it was more to protect the logos and assembly of them from being cloned. Nonetheless, a very distinctive approach that I would never have given thought to except that I entered into a casual conversation with one of the staff'
'Budapest was the 13th race of the season and Button won it - his 113th race' (and if im thinking correctly, isnt he also the 13th ENGLISH winner?
'JACQUES VILLENEUVE HAS TWO SUPER MARIO CARTOON MEN ON HIS DASHBOARD FOR LUCK.
ONE SAY'S "LUCK" AND THE OTHER SAYS "@#$%&". (WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE LANGUAGE)'
'STEFANO MODENA USED TO DRIVE WITH ONE OF HIS RACING GLOVES INSIDE OUT.'
'MICHAEL SCHUMACHER WON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 1994 AND 1995 WITH ANY MECHANIC
WEARING UNDERWEAR THEY GOT LUCKY IN.'
'DAVID RICHARDS FLY'S UP INTO ON COMING WEATHER IN A HELICOPTER AND IF A
SAMPLE OF SEAWEED CHANGES COLOUR OR A PINE
CONE SHRINKS - RAIN IS ON THE WAY.' (logical)
and now something random, but funny...
TORANOSUKI TAKAGI
HE SPEAKS NO ENGLISH. HIS FATHER MASAMI IS A REAL ESTATE OWNER AND SELLER.
HE REPLACED JACQUES VILLENEUVE WHEN JACQUES LEFT THE TOM'S TEAM FOR FORMULA
ATLANTIC RACING IN NORTH AMERICA. TAKAGI SAYS THE PLAYSTATION WAS GOOD FOR
LEARNING THE TRACKS BUT HE SAW HOW LITTLE GRIP HE HAD WITH THE TYRRELL,
SO HE DOESN'T LIKE TO SEE THIS ANYMORE. HE LIVES (1998) NEAR THE HARBOUR
CLUB IN FULHAM, LONDON NEAR MIKA SALO AND RICARDO ROSSET.
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

there's no way it's possible for Renault to get number 0....
or 1 or 2 for that matter... unless Alonso gets fed up of the FIA being in favour of Schumacher and retires after winning the championship this year...

And to stop F1 shops getting McLaren gear. We could only get Mercedes gear and any official McLaren stuff we managed to get a hold of sold for £100s as it's very rare. I think the McLaren team shirt we got a hold of (can't remember the exact persons who it was) sold for about £500 if I remember rightly.
