I would like the numbers to go this way:

Ferrari - 27 & 28 - those numbers are part of the Ferrari mythos
McLaren - 7 & 8 - I'm not so sure about this one. Those numbers don't automatically say "McLaren" to me but I can't think of an alternative
Williams - 5 & 6 - Mansell, Piquet, Canon, Honda, the classic Williams years
Renault - 14 & 15 - even though Renault won their first title with 5 & 6 it's the yellow and black cars of the '80s that spring to mind when I think of the Reggie
Lotus - 11 & 12 - even though this isn't really Lotus maybe their old numbers can channel a bit of Colin Chapman?
Brawn - 3/4 or 22/23 - I think they could take Tyrrell's old numbers as they were the team's first incarnation or they could take 22/23 to mark the fact that they were champions in their first year as Brawn
Force India - 32 & 33 (I think) - The numbers worn by Jordan on those beautiful 1991 7-Up green cars

The rest can pick any numbers they like and hopefully build a history around them.

The champion's team wears 1 & 2 with the his team's previous numbers remaining idle. Nobody but Ferrari should ever carry 27/28 again.
