That number is also a subtle hint itself...

@@brianwong7285 2007

Kimi actually being a nice guy there. He could pick 6 and force Nico to race with something else because he finished ahead of him but he allow him to take 6 fun fact: Jules Bianchi also wanted to use 7. That's probably why Charles want to use 7 as well Kimi racing Hero is James Hunt 7 is the number Hunt use in his last McLaren and Full F1 season

And I though he was gonna say like "bwoah, it's a prime number and I took it"

It was actually the number he was driving for Lotus with in 2013, so he just picked that one since Rosberg wanted #6 and he didn’t really care too much.

Kimi just wanted to pick a number so he picked up dat 😂

"was taking a s . . ." and #7 came out . . .

@@car-enthusiast3141 however it makes sense to choose number 7, thinking about 2007🏎🏆🥇

it’s rosbergs fault technically, kimi wanted 6

@@jimjimsauce ye but he knew Nico wanted 6

such an underrated comment hahahahahah

And the sad music during Charles's talking , even makes it funnier 🤣

thank you i didnt watch the video

i thought the same thing when he said that haha

His goal is beyond our own understading.

Dude same

He probably meant that. English is probably not his first language right?

@@marchii6414 it does the same thing though so he was still correct with what he said. Yes, doubling 11 makes 22, but also if you add +1 to 1 it makes 2, so the two 2’s make 22. It’s not the way I would’ve thought of it but if it makes sense to him then that’s really all that matters lol

Nico's dad is Finnish, maybe that's why he wanted 6, but since Nico wanted it, he gave it to him, hunt is also used 6

That is true, so kind of him. Kimi is awesome even though I’m a Lewis fan

Chad!

Cause he's a legend, he literally doesn't care about these kind of things lol. He'd be like "Boah, give me whatever that's left "

@@urville yeah I believe Keke Rosberg won his WDC with the number 6
