Verstappen changes his number on the car: why the champion refused to use number 1.

Switching to number three

According to The Sun: Max Verstappen confirmed that he will use number three on his Red Bull car next season, as he is forced to give up number one.

Example of Lando Norris

Lando Norris also follows the example of the four-time world champion, choosing number one for his car next season after winning the world title.

Up to this time, Verstappen raced with number 33, which accompanied him on his way to his first victory.

This switch to number three is a significant moment for Verstappen, as he will try to establish his position on the track after he couldn't keep number one. Meanwhile, Lando Norris, celebrating his success, is ready with his new number to become a strong competitor in the next season. The choice of number can become an important part of the drivers' identities in Formula 1.
