DC gets car 5 because officially he is driver number one. Just as with JPM at Williams now. Team orders they may not be, and its true there is no preference. But you cant have two cars numbered as car 5 (or car 3 in Williams case) can you? So they HAVE to choose one to be driver number one...even if it doesnt mean anything (as is the case at Williams and Mclaren)

If you ever see the form that teams fill out to register in the F1 Championship, the drivers are differed as nº1 and nº2, but this is only a registration process....each team decides how gets the nº1 in the form.
but Kimi scored more ponts tahn david in '02, i think he deserves to be Mclaren's no.1.....
and why are there no car with number 13...???is it badluck?
