In Formula 1, all drivers use a fixed race number. The championship introduced this concept in 2014 to increase the recognition of the drivers on the track for the fans. In previous years, the starting numbers were handed out based on the final ranking in the previous world championship standings.

在F1中，所有车手都会使用一个固定的参赛号码。这项锦标赛于2014年引入了这一概念，意在提升车迷们对于赛道上参赛车手的认知度。在之前的若干年，参赛号码是根据上一年锦标赛年的终排名发放的。

Will Max Verstappen drive with race number 1 in 2023?

维斯塔潘在23年会使用1号参赛吗？

As reigning world champion, Max Verstappen has elected to stick with #1 for the 2023 Formula 1 season. Immediately after winning the championship in 2021 in the finale in Abu Dhabi, the Red Bull driver already announced that he will change his usual #33 - and has opted for the same again after winning his second title.

作为卫冕冠军，维斯塔潘选择在23赛季继续使用1号参赛。在21年阿布扎比收官战赢下世界冠军后不久，红牛车手就已经宣布他将会更换他一直用的33号。在赢得了他的第二个冠军后，他再次做出了同样的选择。

"How often do you get the chance to drive with starting number 1 in your Formula 1 career? You never know," Verstappen said.

“在你的F1生涯中你有多少次机会驾驶1号赛车呢？你永远不知道”，维斯塔潘说到。

"I can always go back to number 33 if I am no longer world champion. But as long as I am world champion, I will use number 1 every single year."

“如果我不再是世界冠军了，我随时有可能重回33号。不过只要我还是世界冠军，我每年都会使用1号参赛。”

F1 drivers' numbers for 2023 and the story behind their choice

F1车手23赛季的参赛号码以及他们选号背后的故事

Logan Sargeant will run the #02, having made the announcement ahead of his rookie F1 campaign, explaining: “I used to run it in Formula Renault, and I had a pretty good season that year. Number three is my number, but that’s taken so I figured why not take a winning number from the past and run with it in F1?”

萨金特将会驾驶02号赛车，这个消息在他F1新秀赛季征战前就宣布了，他解释到：“我用这个号码跑过雷诺方程式，并且那年我获得了一个非常出色的赛季。3号是我中意的号码，但已经被占用了，所以我想为什么不使用一个曾经拿到过胜利的号码来跑F1呢？”

Lando Norris has given his McLaren the #4, explaining: "The story is that there is no story. It fits well with the hashtag #L4ndo, but it's not a number I've used in all racing classes." Norris is a big fan of MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi and considered using his #46, but said he didn't want to be a 'copycat' so opted for the #4.

诺里斯给他的迈凯轮座驾赋予了4号，他解释到：“这个号码的故事……其实没有故事。这个号码和#L4ndo标签很搭，不过这个号码我在之前所有级别的比赛中都没用过。”诺里斯是MotoGP传奇车手罗西的铁粉，并且他考虑过用罗西的46号，不过他说他不想做“跟屁虫”，所以选了4号。

AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly has #10. The Frenchman won the 2013 Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup with that number and is also a big fan of footballer Zinedine Zidane, who played with number 10 in the French team. 

小牛车手加斯利（23年去到Alpine）使用10号。法国人使用这个号码赢下了2013年的雷诺方程式2.0欧洲杯，并且他是足球运动员齐达内的铁粉，齐达内在法国国家队使用10号。

Sergio Perez uses the number #11 on his car. The origin is not in motorsport, but in football. The Mexican is a big fan of Club America, especially of former player Ivan Zamorano. "I liked how Bam-Bam played, how he scored. I became a fan of his and decided to race with that number. To this day I've always used #11 everywhere, right down to my email address!" Perez said.

佩雷兹在他的车上使用11号。这个缘由不是在赛车运动中，而是在足球运动中。墨西哥人是美洲足球俱乐部（一只墨西哥足甲球队）的铁粉，特别是前球员萨莫拉诺。“我喜欢Bam-Bam（萨莫拉诺的外号）的踢球方式、得分方式。我成了他的粉丝并决定用这个号码参赛。直到今天，我在任何地方都使用11号，甚至是我的电子邮箱地址！”，佩雷兹说到。

Alpine F1 driver Fernando Alonso uses #14. On 14 July 1999, at the age of 14, he became world champion in karting with #14. "From that moment I knew #14 was my number," he said.

Alpine F1车手阿隆索（23年去到马丁）使用14号。1999年7月14号 1996年7月14号（注：原文的年份错了），14岁的头哥使用14号车成为了卡丁车世界冠军。“从那一刻起，我知道14号是我命中注定的号码了”，他说到。

Charles Leclerc competes in Formula 1 with the #16. The Ferrari driver was born on 16 October 1997. His preference was initially for the lucky number seven, but that was already taken by Kimi Raikkonen. Next, Leclerc wanted #10, but that was already driven by his good friend Pierre Gasly. After some simple maths, he decided on #16: "Because one plus six is seven," he explained.

勒克莱尔在F1中使用16号参赛。这位法拉利车手生于1997年10月16日。他一开始更偏好幸运数字7，不过那个数字已经被莱科宁占用。随后，勒克莱尔想要10号，但这个数字也已经被好友加斯利使用。在经过一些简单的数学计算之后，他决定使用16号，“因为1加6等于7”，他解释到。

Lance Stroll has fitted his Aston Martin with #18. In the early days of his career he won the Italian Formula 4 Championship with this race number. Moreover, shortly after his 18th birthday, he made his Formula 1 debut with Williams. "A bit superstitious, but I like to hold on to little things that are important to me. I don't want to change them," said the Canadian.

斯托尔在他的马丁赛车上贴上了18号。他在职业生涯早期用这个号码赢下了意大利F4冠军赛。除此之外，他在18岁生日后不久，在威廉姆斯完成了他的F1首秀。“说来有点迷信，不过我喜欢坚持一些对我很重要的小事。我不想改变这点”，加拿大人说到。

Kevin Magnussen runs with #20 in F1 as it is the number he won the 2013 Formula Renault 3.5 Series title with, the year before he made his grand prix debut with McLaren.

马格努森驾驶20号赛车在F1中比赛，这个号码是他赢得2013年雷诺方程式3.5系列赛冠军的号码，随后的一年他在迈凯轮完成了他的大奖赛首秀。

Nyck de Vries will run with #21 on his full F1 debut season. The Dutch driver raced with #17 during his time in Formula E, where he won the championship for Mercedes in 2020-21. But this number was retired from F1 following the death of Jules Bianchi in 2015.

德弗里斯将会驾驶21号赛车参加他的首个完整F1赛季。这位荷兰车手在FE时使用17号参赛，他在那个赛场为梅赛德斯车队赢得了2020-21赛季的冠军。不过随着2015年比安奇的去世，17号已经从F1中退役了。

Yuki Tsunoda opted for #22 in F1 at AlphaTauri. The Japanese driver drove #11 in his early karting days and wanted to use that number in Formula 1 as well, but that start number is already occupied by Sergio Perez. Tsunoda simply doubled the number and ended up with #22.

角田裕毅在F1小牛车队选择了22号。这位日本车手在他早期卡丁车时光中驾驶11号赛车，他想在F1中同样使用这个号码，不过这个参赛号码已经被佩雷兹占用。角田直接加倍了这个数字，结果就用上了22号。

Alexander Albon sticks with #23, which he also used in the first phase of his F1 career. In the world of sports, this is an iconic number. Basketball players LeBron James and Michael Jordan played with this number, as did footballer David Beckham for part of his career. Like colleague Lando Norris, Albon is a big fan of Valentino Rossi. In his karting days, the British Thai raced with his #46, but decided to opt for half of that number in F1.

阿尔本继续使用23号，这个他曾经用于他F1生涯的第一个时期的号码。在体育界，这是一个标志性的号码。篮球运动员詹姆斯还有乔丹还有德古拉格林使用这个号码参赛，足球运动员贝克汉姆在他的职业生涯的一部分时间同样使用这个号码。像他的同僚诺里斯一样，阿尔本也是罗西的铁粉。在他的卡丁车时期，这位泰裔英国人使用46号参赛，不过在F1中他决定选择这个数字的一半。

Zhou Guanyu has opted for #24. This number was last used in 2012 by Timo Glock. The Chinese driver has chosen this number as a tribute to basketball legend Kobe Bryant, of whom he is a big fan. Bryant played the last years with the Lakers with number 24.

周冠宇选择了24号。这个号码上次是在2012年被知名车手格洛克使用。中国车手选择这个号码是为了向篮球传奇巨星科比献上敬意，他是科比的铁粉。科比在湖人队的最后几年身披24号战袍。

Nico Hulkenberg returns to #27 that he used in the first part of his F1 career. The number is already fairly famous in F1 having been used to great success by Gilles Villeneuve, as well as occasionally by a handful of other stars including Ayrton Senna and Jean Alesi. But, reportedly, the German’s reason behind picking #27 isn’t related to that at all, as it is the date and month of his birthday added together: 19 August.

霍肯博格回到了他F1生涯第一个时期使用的27号。这个号码在F1中非常著名，它被吉尔·维伦纽夫使用并大获成功，它偶尔也会被个别的明星车手使用，包括塞纳和阿莱西。不过据报道，德国人选27号背后的原因与此毫无关系，因为27是他出生日期：8月19日的日和月之和。

Esteban Ocon uses the #31. The Alpine F1 driver took his first title in karting with that number in 2007. He still considers that one of the best years of his career. He also drove his Formula 1 test debut in October 2014 in the service of Lotus with #31.

奥康使用31号。Alpine F1车手使用他2007年获得第一个卡丁车冠军时的号码。他一直认为那是他职业生涯中最好的一年。他在2014年10月为莲花车队的首次F1测试中同样使用31号。

Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton races with #44. The Briton drove his first kart race with this number, but didn't know what race number to choose at the time, so he took the number from the licence plate of his father's car: F44. With that number he laid the foundation for his successful career and therefore wanted to use it in Formula 1. Even in the years when he was entitled to race with #1 as world champion, the Briton stuck to his #44.

七冠王汉密尔顿使用44号参赛。这位英国人的首次卡丁车比赛用的这个号码，不过当时他本来不知道选什么号码，所以他从他父亲汽车的牌照：F44中取了44这个号码。这个号码为他成功的职业生涯奠定了基础，所以他想在F1中使用它。虽然在他成为世界冠军的数年间他有权使用1号参赛，但英国人一直坚持他的44号。

Carlos Sainz has given his Ferrari #55. "The S of my first name is like a 5 and so is the S of my last name, so that makes #55". Moreover, the #5 is his favourite number, but that was already taken by Sebastian Vettel. With this self-invented word game he reached #55.

赛恩斯给他的法拉利座驾赋予了55号。“我名里的字母S就像个数字5，同样我姓里的字母S也一样，所以合起来就成了55号”。除此之外，5号是我最爱的号码，不过它已经被维特尔占用了。通过这个自发明的文字游戏，他联系到了55号。

George Russell uses #63. "My brother used to kart with the number 63, so this has become our family number ever since," he said. With some creativity, 63 can also be read as GR, which are the initials of the Mercedes driver. Others see it as GB, which stands for Great Britain. 

拉塞尔使用63号。“我的哥哥从前开卡丁车时使用63号，从那时起这个号码成为我们家的号码”，他说到。如果带上一些创造力，63还可以看成这位梅奔车手的姓名的首字母GR。还有些人会把63看成GB，这个字母组合代表着大不列颠（Great Britain）。

Valtteri Bottas races with #77. The Finn, like several other drivers, wanted the lucky number seven. However, this number was already taken by his compatriot Kimi Raikkonen. Bottas therefore chose #77, which he cleverly applied to his personal merchandise with the logo Bo77as.

顶级车手博塔斯使用77号参赛。这位芬兰人和其他几个车手一样，想要使用幸运数字7。然而，这个号码已经被他的同胞莱科宁使用。因此博塔斯选择了77号，他很聪明地将这个号码设计在Logo Bo77as中并应用在了他的个人周边上。

Oscar Piastri has announced he will run the #81 in F1, having used the number sporadically in his junior career. Starting with #11 while karting in Australia, Piastri switched to #81 as a rival already had his previous race number as he climbed the karting ladder. When he started competing in Europe he used a variety of different numbers but returned to #81 when competing in both British F4 and the Formula Renault Northern European Cup.

皮亚斯特里宣布他在F1中将会使用81号参赛，这个在他青年生涯中曾经偶尔使用过的号码。在澳大利亚参加卡丁车比赛期间他从11号开始，随后当他提升比赛级别时，因为他的对手已经使用了他先前的比赛号码，他便换成了81号。当去到欧洲参赛时，他用过各种不同的号码，不过当他参加英国F4和雷诺方程式北欧杯时，他又用回了81号。

Which race numbers cannot be used in Formula 1?

有哪些号码不能在F1中使用？

Formula 1 drivers cannot pick to use the number 17. Jules Bianchi was using this number at the time of his serious accident at Suzuka in 2014. He later succumbed to injuries from that crash. As a tribute, the F1 organisation decided to withdraw this race number. 

F1车手们不可以使用17号。比安奇在2014年铃鹿赛道遭遇严重事故时就使用的这个号码。他后来因为这次事故不治身亡。为了表示敬意，F1管理组织决定收回这个参赛号码。
