STARTING NUMBER 47
"I chose the starting number 47 for several reasons, and all these reasons make it the ideal number for me.
My favorite number is 4, and I can find myself in everything it stands for - responsibility, curiosity, determination. Plus, I won a championship with it. The 7 stands for my father. The 4 and the 7 together make a unit of the two of us. And the fact that our family's birthdays added together make 47 feels to me like a confirmation of that choice."
MSC
"For many years, the racing abbreviation stood for the best driver in Formula 1, my father. As a tribute to him and as an emotional gift to his fans, I have chosen the same acronym. I will do my best to live up to these letters and honour him with them."
