from 2026, a minimum of 55 per cent of the car’s surface area (when viewed from the side and above) must be covered in either painted or stickered liveries.

Part of the same F1 commission meeting:
Interesting. I wonder why this was brought up.

Sometimes drivers use one number during their junior days but then cannot use it because it's taken. When the other driver retires, why not try to get that number?

That's a good point. Currently only a rookie can take a retired driver's number.

In order for this to be discussed, surely there must be already at least one case of a driver who wants to change his number

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Max himself, in anticipation of not having 1 next year. He originally wanted 3, but Danny Ric had it, who is now out of the sport

Max just wants to sell more hats with the new number

55% is still too low imo

I mean, better a minimum of 55 per cent of the car’s surface area (when viewed from the side and above) must be covered in either painted or stickered liveries, than no rule on that at all and the FIA deciding on "vibes".
