Technically, his name is Luiz de Oliveira.
His full name is Luiz Felipe de Oliveira Nasr. Under Portuguese naming conventions, "de Oliveira" is his father's surname, and "Nasr" is his mother's maiden name. But for personal reasons, he chooses to be known as Felipe Nasr instead of Luiz de Oliveira. It's a lot like Bruno Senna choosing to be known as Senna instead of Lalli.

So he's not allowed to have his own name because it's inconvenient to others through no fault of his own?

Man channel 10s coverage is too cringeworthy.
It's at it's worst when it tries to promote it's c grade TV shows on their Lounge and they draw a driver from a Helmet that they can't pronounce, showing they have Zero idea or interest about the sport.
Im sorry but if you can't read Max Verstappen then you need to go back to school.

What's the reason behind him not being there? He won't race today?

Same new from SkySports live blog. Not official but Bottas isn't running.

That really hurts when it's the first race. Sure there will be retirements by the teams throughout the year but it's never good to start on the backfoot.

He injured the soft tissue in his lower back during the dying minutes of Q3 yesterday. It looks unlikely that he'll race today and there's some debate over whether Williams can/will run their reserve driver in his stead.
That might be the first unofficial confirmation that he wont race today.

Sky just confirmed that Bottas will not be taking part. Apparently he didn't pass the extraction test.

If only NBC would do that... Diffey yells and talks non-stop, Hobbs and Matchett sound like teenagers yelling "OOOOHHH" when ever there is an incident.
I hear that Red Bull are claiming that the Renault engine is no more powerful than it was last season but looking at the speed trap data this is simply not the case. Kvyat hit the speed trap at 319.1 km/h yesterday in qualifying, which is faster than anyone managed in 2014. This also may debunk the theory that Kvyat was forced to use a detuned engine, because why would he still be marginally faster than Ricciardo in the speed trap if he was?

Redbulls engine needs a Remapping to get the best out of it, I would say watch this space, Ricciardo was only .6 off Massa dispite this so I would expect a big boost once they get the power curve sorted so the throttle can be used in a smooth way, this kind of issue would cost massive time on any slow to medium speed corner requiring any kind of throttle modulation.
Software is allowed to be adjusted during the season so It should be solved by Spain.

Yeah, sorry about that. We created him, and have since moved onto the next level. It would not surprise me in the slightest if Matt White stopped commentating to say "Who cares about Ricciardo? The most important thing here is that he's racing in Australia and I'm the one calling the race for everyone at home."
Because engine management is more than about achieving the maximum straight-line speed. Kvyat's problem was that he was getting torque that he didn't want when he was trying to hold the revs steady when he was mid-corner.
And it's not a "theory". It has been confirmed by the team.

It appears that F1 has made a new YouTube channel:
https://youtube.com/channel/UCB_qr75-ydFVKSF9Dmo6izg
They had one back in 2009 but they abandoned it, this has 2014 season and 2015 testing content

Good job, Channel 10. Something very important just happened, and you were off talking about the next season of "MasterChef".
