Would Massa really be considered Number 1 over Fernando Alonso?

Wouldn't of thought so ,I suppose they would say we have equal number 1 drivers?.

[Jim Riven]

I think its more a case of them having named one driver (Massa) before naming Alonso, therefore Massa is no.1.

This will no doubt have no effect on next season's preferences.

If Alonso scores more points than Massa this year, won't he inherit the lower number on the car?

I am not 100% sure of this but I don't believe that driver numbers are related to finishing position of the previous season, the world champion gets #1 and his team-mate #2. Each team is allocated two number according to the teams finishing position from the previous season and the team decides who gets what number.

I think that may well be the case.

Now thats one scenario i never gave a single thought. Massa and Alonso at ferrari. I like both of em but guess i favour Massa a wee bit more. Alonso is a great driver and becomes a very diffrent person when put in a fast race winning capable car. I can say the same about Massa but feel he a bit more disciplined and steady. suddenly me getting a bit worried about rivalry between those two.

Well it's looking more and more likely on the cards.
THe BBC's F1 editor claimed tonight that the deal has been done - another voice.

Lol I doubt it, but I'd expect Ferrari to be strong in 2010.

I like Rosberg too, but I'd rather see him go to Brawn and be given an equal shot.

Agree with this, what I would like to see is Kubica in the Mclaren.
