Jenson will use 22, the same number that he had when he won the championship with Brawn GP in 2009. Daniel Ricciardo has confirmed that he will use the number 3 in his first season with Red Bull Racing.
Jenson and Daniel aren't the only driver's to have confirmed their numbers for this season. Sebastian Vettel will once again carry number 1 as it has been reserved for the previous years champion. Kevin Magnussen will carry the number 20 on his McLaren MP4-29.
Meanwhile, both Ferrari driver's Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso have confirmed their numbers for this year. Kimi will use the number 7, which is a coveted number in sport, Eric Cantana had the number 7 on his shirt at Manchester United as did David Beckham.
During her time with Andretti Autosport, Danica Patrick had the number 7 in IndyCar and during her first season in NASCAR she used the number 7.
The idea of individual numbers is a fantastic idea and I can't wait to find out what numbers the rest of the grid will use this season.
