You could just remember the car numbers, the giant obvious unique clear numbers.

Thats the thing - I dont think the numbers are that clear or obvious....

I think that was a case of sarcasm not coming across too well on the interwebs.

No, twas not sarcasm, I don't quite see how the numbers are less clear than a black or yellow T-BAR or someones gloves!

Because, in my opinion, the T-bar (and its colour) can be seen from the majority of camera angles. The car numbers certainly cant.

I can never see the numbers, they might as well not be there.

Yeah..same here, numbers are out of the question. Oh what they should have is like "LEWIS" and "NICO" on the sidepods, like what McLaren had with Mika and David during that badass West sponsorship period.

[racechick]

Yeah that would be cool!

F1 numbers are a joke. Try reading them in a wet race.

And when a shot of a Mercedes comes on that's over the head of the driver and you see the top of a yellow helmet, it's far easier for me to see yellow or black gloves.

In any case, the problem here is exacerbated by the fact that both Mercedes drivers have very similar helmets. Which is the reason for my original comment.

Depends on the camera angle, if they use the T-CAM, it is obvious, but on some longer shots its less obvious, although I noticed the Mercede's ones better than others as they have the ring around it. Plus one of their numbers is single digit and the other is double digit

[CookinFlat6]

I didnt even know they still had numbers on the car. And the helmet situation is a real joke, it use to be just Lewis now apart from him and Nico, theres Perez confusing the issue, anytime I saw him I was like 'why is Lewis going so slow, then, duh'

Thus why they have yellow or red stripes on the cameras on top of the air box. Make a note of who has which stripe and you're made in the shade.

People have been talking of the T-bar for 2 pages now, but thanks Captain Obvious.

Play nicely or not at all please.
