They're set by finishing position in the constructor's championship. So seeing as McLaren were excluded from the constructor's championship, they get the lowest numbers (23 & 24.) BMW as second place get three and four. Apart from the team with the previous year’s driver’s champion (Kimi Raikkonen), the car numbers aren’t set by finishing position in the driver’s championship.

If Lewis got 23 they'd probably start saying he's the <em>Michael Jordan of F1</em> instead of the usual <em>Tiger Woods of F1</em>... :) <strong>PabloG</strong> - I didn't even think about them finish 2nd and 3rd last year... the numbers 2 & 3 again... this is starting to get like Lost (a TV series where the same numbers keep popping up for those who don't know :)).
