Formula one drivers should have permanent race numbers that are displayed prominently as in NASCAR.
That is the view of FIA president Jean Todt, who admitted he wanted to make changes to make it easier "to identify a driver" during grands prix.
In an interview with Melbourne's The Age newspaper, the Frenchman also said he would like to see a driver's name displayed prominently on his car.
"Like in NASCAR ... a driver who is arriving in formula one, he gets a number. He would keep it for all of his career. You could identify a driver with a number. At the moment, you don't find the number, you don't find the name," said Jean Todt.
