A Formula One '''car number''' is the number on a car used to identify a car and its driver.  Currently, drivers are allowed to pick their own number for their career from 0, 2 through 99. Only the World Champion is allowed to use number 1.  This number cannot be reallocated unless the driver has not driven in the sport for two seasons.

Until {{F1|2013}}, the numbers were allocated with two rules: the [[List of World Drivers' Champions|previous season's World Champion]] used the number 1; following the Champion and his team-mate (car number 2), the teams were ordered by their position in the previous season's [[List of World Constructors' Champions|Constructors' Championship]].

Up to {{F1|1973}}, the numbers were given out by the race organisers. But midway through that year, permanent numbers were trialled, and in {{F1|1974}}, permanent numbers were issued based on the Constructors' Championship positions in 1973. Since the 1973 World Champion, [[Jackie Stewart]], left F1 at the end of that season, the team leader for the constructors champion ([[Ronnie Peterson]]) drove the No. 1 car in 1974.

Teams only changed numbers when the Drivers' Champion was not driving for the previous No. 1 holder, or when teams left F1 and left gaps in the numbers. These permanent numbers lasted until {{F1|1995}}, in part due to a lack of teams.

These permanent numbers led to a few quirks, namely {{Tyrrell-CON}} holding onto numbers 3 and 4 for all 21 years, and the numbers 27 and 28 becoming iconic {{Ferrari-CON}} numbers.

The number 13 was not used, as per racing tradition. In fact, only one race pre-2014 featured a number 13 car starting in Formula One history: the [[1963 Mexican Grand Prix]].  It was also used in the [[1976 British Grand Prix]], but was not qualified.  As a result of this, the number 14 was often used by a one-car team or a third driver.  In 2014, the number was selected by [[Pastor Maldonado]].

The number 0 has been used on a few occasions, mainly by [[Damon Hill]] in {{F1|1993}} and {{F1|1994}} after [[Nigel Mansell]] and [[Alain Prost]], the {{F1|1992}} and 1993 World Champions, left the sport. 

The number 8 has been used the most, with 988 races. The highest number is 208, in a Radio Luxembourg-sponsored car for [[Lella Lombardi]] at the [[1974 British Grand Prix]].

Following the death of [[Jules Bianchi]], the FIA decided to permanently retire the number 17 he drove with before his accident.

==Regulations==

The car number is included as part of the [[FIA Sporting Regulations]], under the "car livery" section. It is written as follows:<ref name="Sporting Regs">{{Cite web |url = https://www.fia.com/file/78014/download/26183 |title = Sporting Regulations – 12.03.2019 |publisher = FIA |accessdate = 16 March 2019}}</ref>

'''9) CAR LIVERY'''
:'''9.2''' Each car will carry the race number of its driver as published by the FIA at the beginning of the season or the race number that has been allocated to his replacement under Article 26.1(b)(iii). This number must be clearly visible from the front of the car and on the driver’s crash helmet.
:Prior to the start of the 2014 World Championship season race numbers will be permanently allocated to drivers by ballot, such numbers must then be used by that driver during every Formula One World Championship Event he takes part in throughout his career in Formula 1. A driver’s career in Formula 1 will be deemed to have ended if he does not participate in an Event for two entire consecutive Championship seasons.
:Any new drivers, either at the start of or during a season, will also be allocated a permanent number in the same way.
:The only exception to this allocation process will be for the reigning World Champion who will have the option to use the number one. The number that was previously allocated to him will be reserved for him in subsequent seasons if he does not retain the title of World Champion.

Additionally, Article 26.1(b)(iii) is as follows:<ref name="Sporting Regs" />

'''26) CHANGES OF DRIVER'''
:'''26.1''' b) In addition to the above each team will be permitted to run additional drivers during P1 and P2 provided:
:iii) They carry the race number that has been allocated to them.

==Summary of systems by year==

{| class=wikitable
! width=15%| 1950–1973
| Numbers allocated by event organisers.  Number system and method of allocation different for each event.
|-
! 1973
| Permanent numbers trialed in second half of season, roughly based on Constructor standings.
|-
! 1974–1995
| Permanent team numbers were fully implemented, initially based on the {{F1|1973}} World Constructors' Championship placings.  No. 1 was allocated to the World Drivers' Champion, and the only way numbers moved about was through the changing of the team for whom the World Champion drove for, or with a reallocation of spare numbers.
|-
! 1996–2013
| Team numbers ordered by World Constructors' Championship position of the previous season, with No. 1 still going to the World Drivers' Champion.
|-
! 2014–present
| Drivers allowed to choose their own, permanent numbers from 0 through 99 except 1. Only the World Drivers' Champion is allowed to use No. 1 at their discretion, though they are not required to do so. In allocating out the numbers, drivers with a higher Championship position in the previous season are given higher preference.
