“It’s my number," Hamilton, 29, said after winning the 2014 title. I won my first championship with 44 in karting so I'll ask the team if I can keep it on my car now.”
He also has the number tattooed behind his right ear.
Meanwhile, three of F1's 11 teams have been listed as "subject to confirmation" on the 2015 entry list. No surprise that two are Caterham and Manor, the latter the revised name for the team that competed in 2014 as Marussia.
However, Lotus is also listed as “conditional” despite the official entry including its drivers Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado, and Mercedes power for the team.
