Duplicated driver number

During initiation of my team, I selected Enzo Fittipaldi as a driver for my team. During first GP it became apparent he had been assigned number 14 as his driver number, despite the number already being assigned to Fernando Alonso.

  • Enzo raced as #14 in Formula 2 last year. While it's not ideal to have two drivers with the same number, what other number should they have given him?

    There are 77 available numbers to choose from, any of those? I appreciate it’s not game breaking but it’s immersion breaking.

    Presumably there’s some logic in the game that recognises the number is not available, you can’t use it in driver career, and in previous editions where I’ve signed Jenson Button, he’s not been given 22 because that already belongs to Yuki.

    Presumably there’s some kind of internal logic in the game that knows the number is not available - it can’t be used in driver career, and in previous editions where I’ve signed Jenson Button, he’s not been given 22 because that’s already assigned to Yuki.

  • Sorry, let me explain better.

    the F2 cars that are in the game represent the 2024 season, during which he raced as #14, so he needs that number for the game to accurately represent that season.

    Since Button is not actively racing in any series represented in game he can race under a different number.

    I see what you mean, surprises me a little that there isn’t a functionality to have an F2 number and an F1 number randomly assigned from the available pool. Especially as it seems you can also end up with two Number 1s on the grid.

    My friend and I did a two player career save and went Paul Aron and Zane Maloney and we both had the number 99
