The team which hosts the reigning world champion takes number 1 & 2 and the rest forms up after the order in last year's constructor championship.

Even Hamilton is OK, (Ive read his book...not bad) I just finished his book last night, was pretty good wasnt it. Read Coulthards before and that was a really great read, i recommend it. Some of the storys he has picked up through the years in f1 are very interesting Really dont see what theres not to like about Ron, you see how emotional he gets with his racing which is a good thing in my opinion, real passion he has within f1 and has been so loyal to one team for years.

Yes, it is the same way with most elevators. Theres no level 13. They skip it to 14.
13 is considered a bad luck number. Stupid but oh well.

And one of drivers who used it died on track in car with this number. Most of Teams at the begging of F1 were from Great Britain and 13 is a symbol of bad luck there. The last Number Rules changed around 15 years ago. since then Numer 1 goes to drivers world champion. if World champion end his carear then the team who got constructors championship takes 0 and 2 on the cars. And Btw... in the hotels etc around the world there's no room number 13 or floor number 13... it's a sign of bad luck around the world. and its Wird for me cuz this number bring me pretty good luck ;-)

Well, in Italy (and probably even in other Mediterranean countries), the 17 number represents the "bad luck".
The reason is that, in XVIII and XIX Centuries, whenever a sailor died during a travel on the sea, the staff on the ship had to registry the death with the word "VIXI", which in latin means "I lived" [=Now I'm dead].
If you change the order of the letters V-I-X-I, you obtain X-V-I-I, that represents - as Roman number- the number 17. ;D
