Carlos Sainz is dropping the 'junior' part of his name for F1 and revealed that he has picked the number 55 to race throughout his F1 career.

"Since my childhood I have had success with number 5," he said, "but Vettel has this number." Sainz explained that the final 'S' in his first name and the first 'S' in his surname resembles the number 55.

Another good marketing number, like Bo77as

Sponsors from Mexico that were with Gutierrez now came to Ferrari. Nice to know, it's development time. :)

Edit: I just knew that heads will roll in Ferrari as soon as Vettel goes there. One by one they fall... :D

I'm really sorry, did not have time to watch f1 last season.....

The 'tokens' are the parts which compromise the power unit. There are 66 'tokens', weighted in terms of how important a part is. So if a manufacturer wants to upgrade part A, they might use three tokens, for example. Teams can use 32 tokens across the course of the 2015 season, so they can upgrade 48% of the power unit.
