F1 and F2 are separate competitions. In F2, numbers are assigned automatically based on the team's finishing position in the previous season; the top team from the prior year gets numbers 1 and 2 for the next, and so on. Furthermore, an F2 driver moving up to F1 cannot carry their F2 number over to F1. Upon signing an F1 contract, they choose a number that is available and not "frozen" (a number can be frozen for two years after a driver leaves F1, in case they return).
The game should account for this; when a driver from the F2 pool joins an F1 team, the game should automatically assign them the first available number (excluding number 1, of course, even if it is free). This is a simple algorithm that should work within the game and shouldn't be difficult to implement.
