I was unaware that Charles Leclerc with 21 races under his belt is Ferrari's greenest signing since Stefan Johansson (13). So I decided to write a piece about four others with the least experience during that period (with a caveat of maximum 50 races experience) to land at Ferrari, and how they fared. Hope y'all enjoy it.

So Lando Norris has picked #4 as 'his' number.
That used to be the number of Max

Max has never used the #4 in F1..... always been #33, Toro Rosso and Ted Bull. I dont know what he might have used in feeder / junior racing, but that is irrelevant. (obviously irrelevant to Max as well otherwise he would have chosen it.)

As far as F1 was concerned he ran as third driver 3 times for Torro Rosso in 2014, each time listed as #38. (according to 'stats F1' )Not sure about any testing he might have done.kals wrote: ↑5 years agoMax used #23 in 2013 and then #4 in 2014.Everso Biggyballies wrote: ↑5 years agoMax has never used the #4 in F1..... always been #33, Toro Rosso and Ted Bull.

He ran #30 in 2014 Euro F3... he ran #1 in the Zandvoort Masters that year, and #5 at Macau.
I think he ran #3 in the Florida series he did.
I cant find any reference to #4 or #23. (That is not saying he didnt, I just cant find any reference to it. )

This thread seemed an appropriate place to put this 'news':
Hamilton tests a Superbike at Jerez..... and crashes.
Maybe he should stick to cars, or something he is good at. Crashed is a bit of a clickbait really, as he just dropped it while running on track, hitting the deck without injury.

Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton suffered a fall while testing a Yamaha YZF-R1 at Jerez on Saturday.
The Englishman escaped injury in the fall which occurred during a private test day according to reports from Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport.
It’s not the first time Hamilton has sampled two wheeled machinery, having shared Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in the US with Cal Crutchlow earlier this year.
Though riding a Yamaha in Jerez, Hamilton has a relationship with MV Augusta which has named a limited edition bike after him.
