Driver nicknames

Post

Hey c'mon such name callings are not offensive they add a bit of humor.

You see that’s one reason why I am fighting against strict rules. They always tent to tighten up more and more until you find yourself in chains.
If some guys would just change their behavior a bit and learn to respect others we would not need that at all. Now there are a few who mess around (and prolly will always do so) and all have to suffer under stricter rules.


Btw. I have not figuered out all the names yet:
pastit = past it for Schumacher
brittney = Rosberg (yea fits)
the boss = maybe alonso ???????
bob = is it maybe webber ???????
wunderkind = vettel (of course :D )
hamster = hamilton


Can anybody clear this up?

Thats the problem, if you read a whole comment with only such names, than you have to find out who is meant by this, I'm not against it because its offensive or so, but because sometimes its not clear who is meant.

As far as I figured out...
pastit = past it for Schumacher
brittney = Rosberg
the boss = Hamilton
bob = Robert Kubica
wunderkind = vettel (of course :D )
hamster = Hamilton
bulk = Massa

Don't ask me why... :roll:

Isn't it better to call Webber "Flying Aussie"? :mrgreen:

How about calling drivers by their names? Keeps it simple and avoids confusion.
