I'd like them, with the influx of teams for next season, to set the numbers the way they normally do (Drivers Champion team, then Constructors Championship order, then all the new teams in whatever order they see fit), then stick to those apart from the various swaps for champion.

Yes it's nice to think of Williams 5/6, McLaren 7/8, Lotus 11/12, Ferrari 27/28 etc. but those numbers were the result of a chain reaction of events that started in 1974, when the numbers were set from 1973 championship order: Lotus, Tyrrell, McLaren, Brabham, March, Ferrari, BRM, Shadow, Surtees, Williams, Ensign. With new constructors like Hesketh and Hill next up.

That chain was broken in 1996 and there's nothing we can do about it now, it's time to make some new numerological history
