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.

Now that Kimi's retired, Charles can claim the number 7 in 2024, as long as Kimi doesn't come back (though that's highly unlikely). But Kimi using number 7 was quite appropriate, as he won his world championship in 2007, in his 7th year of competing in F1. Excluding 2013, when he was automatically assigned 7 based on championship position from 2012, after choosing it as his personal race number in 2014, he raced for 7 further seasons. A lot of special memories.
