Just keep in mind the majority of F1 fans that aren't English speaking don't read motorsport.com. Who honestly gives the slightest gently caress about this?

As for Seb talking in Italian on the radio when he wins, we love that poo poo. We love it even more that there is a brit somewhere lovely that they can't understand it

It's also good because BBC and Sky often won't broadcast Italian radio messages because the English audience can't understand them so we get away with saying poo poo

edit: then someone properly European like Seb just switches between Italian and English and German fluently and .. the English complain because they can't understand anything but English. We don't even have to make up jokes

edit2: alonso is another real euro. Ham is an Englishman. It's a pretty simple test, are they bilingual?

Everyone loves Alonso. Actually not everyone, my girl doesn't. She did, she thought he was cool and all and flowing hair blah blah, but then there is that doco on Spanish TV about when he left Ferrari. You should all watch it if you haven't, it's really candid and good. It's all in Spanish but there were English subtitles. Anyways she just got this kinda intense, desperate vibe off him. Which is, of course, probably exactly how he was feeling by the end of his time with Ferrari but yeah, she doesn't like him now. Not like Ham hate, but just there is something about his intensity that makes her feel uncomfortable.

But she loves Danny and on the way out of Albert Park on the Saturday I made a joke about keeping the car on the road and she got really lovely and yelled at me. So I dunno wtf, I guess I'm turning her into a proper F1 fan which is to be emotional and irrational and fight cunts when they dis your guy



The McLaren wasn't that bad in Seb's RBR glory days. Anyways ok good and glad we're friends but we're still going to beat you into the ground

Motorsport.com is in like a million different languages and that's the results from the first 72 hours of the Global Fan Survey also conducted in several different languages.

Motorsport.com has branched out like crazy buying up all the foreign language motorsport centric sites that they can get their hands on and continue to expand like crazy.

I can't find the video for it, but:

quote:

"Britney's in the wall"
Mark Webber's Williams years provided a favourite anecdote about him, which says a lot about his determination, sense of justice and humour.

Like all top Aussie sportsmen, Webber is not immune to a few psychological games to boost his chances. And it was he who invented the nickname "Britney" - as in popstar Spears - for his young, blond and good-looking 2006 Williams team-mate Nico Rosberg, then in his first season.

Their final race together was in Brazil, where Rosberg rammed into the back of his team-mate's car on the opening lap, breaking the front nose of the German's car and Webber's rear wing.

Because it's relatively quick to replace a front wing replacement but a damaged rear means a likely retirement, the two were given a "priority Rosberg" message over the radio as they headed back to the pits.

Webber, cross at his team-mate's mistake, was determined to get back first and they began to race - really race - despite Rosberg suffering from lack of front grip and Webber struggling with the rear.

As they came on to the pit straight, Rosberg was just ahead, only to lose control through the flat-out kink before the pits and crash heavily into a concrete barrier.

Webber was right behind him and, as he passed the incident, the team came back on the radio with another "priority Rosberg" message. Webber paused for effect before replying in a languid Aussie drawl: "Britney's in the wall."

There's also this (second story) which I hadn't heard of before.

Wild theory. Tony has expat parents or grandparents and think they are representative of the people "back home", when the reality is that all a lot of expats represent is the Australian wing of the BNP.

Ricciado fans in Australia are exactly the same kind of people who are Lewis fans in England. The name for them in both countries is "wankers".

The cool kids support Ferrari because they have the most chance of being the WCC winning team who are not Mercades.
