Another Formula 1 numerical coincidence

In Max Verstappen’s 44th Grand Prix win (2023 Hungarian Grand Prix) car No.44 (Lewis Hamilton) started on pole position and finished 4th.

In Max Verstappen’s 63rd Grand Prix (2024 Qatar Grand Prix) Car No.63 (George Russell) started on pole position and finished 4th.

And in both races, Verstappen started 2nd on the grid.

Which means that Valtteri Bottas (No.77) will somehow come from the heavens and return to F1 to claim a pole position for Max’s 77th Grand Prix victory, then when Max wins his 81st Grand Prix in 3 years time, Oscar Piastri will start on pole and finish 4th.
