Thank god for that! But if they turn out to be great this season, should we assume that it’s because of their first name? I will name my kid Sebastien then, for sure! lol

Haha yeah it seems Sebastien is a popular name for F1 drivers right now!
I’m liking the fact Kimi is number 3 even though Massa beat him last year…

I’m so confused about that. I’ve seen him driving with the number 4 on the car during testing… could be they just didnt have time to peel off the vinyl lettering? lol!

I’m confused by Kimi’s number too All of the sites and official stuff says he will be No.3 though.

I just hope he has the orange camera - it took me all season last year to remember Kimi’s cam was no longer yellow… saves the heart attack of seeing a Ferrari in the gravel wondering who it is! lol

Just remember Red T-Cam for ‘driver 1′ and Yellow for ‘driver 2′… but the problem we have here is one source says hes driving car 3 and the photos suggest hes driving car 4. Again, like most cases regarding performance, we’ll have to *wait and see* :p

 The guys at Red Bull seems to be developing some kind of a fetish for Sebastians. And, Coulthard’s testing?! And here i was thinking that he’s going to be a full time commentator for BBC

The number each of the drivers get is their team’s decision, with the exception of the World Champion.
