And I still don't understand why it is so hard to spell Finnish names.
It's ok if you don't put ä or ö where they should be in Räikkönen but when you spell it like Raikonnen it just makes me feel bad :(.
 
I did that at first, but I have gotten the hang of finnish spelling now.

It is only the double letters that are difficult. The vowels are very easy to tell from saying the name. The spelling for finnish names is consistent with the "international" pronunciation of vowels.

We've got these non-accented keyboards in the UK/US...every bit of press in English-speaking nations spell it Raikkonen or Hakkinen (without accents). Autosourse is the only English press I've ever seen that gets the accents properly noted.

However, I know who's a real racing fan when I see Nurburgring instead of Nürburgring, so I understand in a way.
 
M. Schumacher.... No doubt....

GO Ferrari

Well, we've had our first crash of the one-off qualifying - Verstappen's gone off in the Minardi.

For mine - a McLaren or a Ferrari - Webber in the top 5.
