F1 drivers in one word
November 23rd 2007 20:13
I don’t have time to do a proper post today (partly because I am still recovering from the cold I got last week). So in lieu of a proper post, here is a fun game that I saw on my favourite Formula 1 blog, F1Fanatic. (Even in November, Keith Collantine is managing to write several F1-related posts every day!)
Describe each driver in one word.
I managed to mess up my comment a little bit — I forgot about the last two drivers, so those answers remained from the list I copy-n-pasted from. So here are my answers.
Fernando Alonso - Winner
Lewis Hamilton - Impatient
Giancarlo Fisichella - Ageing
Heikki Kovalainen - Promising
Felipe Massa - Nepotism
Kimi Raikkonen - Playboy
Jenson Button - Plucky
Rubens Barrichello - Slowing
Nick Heidfeld - Quick
Robert Kubica - Fortunate
Ralf Schumacher - Rubbish
Jarno Trulli - Train
David Coulthard - Trusty
Mark Webber - Unlucky
Nico Rosberg - Potential
Alexander Wurz - Rusty
Kazuki Nakajima - Fore!
Vitantonio Liuzzi - Overlooked
Scott Speed - Misnomer
Sebastian Vettel - Fast
Adrian Sutil - Unknown
Christijan Albers - Nice
Markus Winkelhock - Leader
Sakon Yamamoto - Loadsamoney?
Takuma Sato - Kamikaze
Anthony Davidson - Anonymous

Yeah sorry about that, the letters i-m-p-a-t-i-e-n-t are so close to it on the keyboard…

“Scott Speed - Misnomer” I got that!
I have one for Adrian Sutil: “Sutil” means subtle in spanish, which suits him very well…

Enrico Bertaggia: We hardly knew ye
Which crisps flavour would each driver be?
Interview with Nick Heidfeld’s beard
“Scott Speed - Misnomer” is genius by the way.

What about driver’s lucky items of clothing? DC apparently had lucky pants once upon a time, and Wurz had lucky boots I think (one red, one blue), surely Fisi has a lucky cardigan or something…

Thanks Keith.
Craig, I reckon Fisi must have forgotten to wear it then.

In that case then, Alonso is the Samson of the 21st century !
