Don't forget Lake Speed, Mark Winterbottom, and Giovanni Lavaggi (check his profile if you aren't sure why he's here).


Romain Grosjean (Roman Fat john) probably deserves a contribution too. Not exactly going to be the shortest book in F1, is it?

You guys forgot the ultimate, most funniest driver's name ever:

Further to the funny names above...

I've just been watching highlights of the 1984 Dallas Grand Prix, and heard Murray Walker mention the name of the first retirement, because I thought he must have mispronounced his surname, or else I misheard. It was Francois Hesnault... Which I heard as Francois Anal...

I believe the correct pronunciation is along the lines of 'Ayno', or possibly 'Aysno'

As I said, it was just how i mis-heard it, even if that is not how it actually was pronounced... Thanks for the clarification though. :oops:

I'll take the ribbing on Hockenheimring - that was a fat finger on my part - point taken, post corrected. But, Hermann Tilke has two "n" in his name and that was not incorrect on my part. - See: http://www.tilke-ac.de/management1.php.
