Alexander Albon has chosen the #23 for his rookie Formula One season with Toro Rosso, to go in the same category as some of sport's biggest and most famous stars.
The number 23 has an iconic status with sport's biggest names such as LeBron James, David Beckham and perhaps most famously, Michael Jordan also rocking the #23.
Albon is replacing Brendon Hartley at Toro Rosso for the 2019 season, being partnered with the returning Daniil Kvyat in the Red Bull Racing junior side for the next campaign.
Part of Albon's thinking might be that he turns 23 just six days after the season opener in Australia.
