[Suggestion] Choose your driver number freely in Career mode

Hi guys, 

with Isack Hadjar having gotten his first podium in his rookie season, I think it's pretty obvious that the number 6 will be gone for good. And this is a massive problem for me, because I have a personal narrative in the My Team career, and if we get back the owner driver scenario in future F1 games, I will never be able to play it out again because the 6 is blocked. 

This is why this suggestion must be put into action in the next F1 game, and it's choosing any number for your driver, regardless if another driver has it or not. It's personally very important for me to have the 6 available for my narrative if we get the owner driver scenario back. 

Now, there should be limitations for this though. Obviously, the 1 shouldn't be accessible, since it's reserved for the reigning champion. The 17 should also be inaccessible for the obvious reason that Jules Bianchi had it when he died in Suzuka 11 years ago. Other than that, all numbers from 2 to 99 should be accessible. 

And if that's not possible because of "licensing reasons", then AT THE VERY LEAST give us the numbers 02 to 09, just like NASCAR does it, so we can choose our desired number without picking an already given number. That should be incredibly easy. I deliberately didn't include 01, since this to me also shows the car as number 1, which obviously isn't possible. 

Thank you. 

- Nico

    Completely understandable!   And they should include numbers that aren't 1-99 as well. It's very important for my personal narrative that I use the number 911 or 999 and that the livery should look like a police car so that I can pull over the other drivers when they're driving too fast and I can't overtake them. 

    If that's not allowed then I should be allowed 666 at least and my driver avatar should be a 20 foot tall Satan. 

    I will accept no compromises. Get this done.
