Ricciardo to replace Karthikeyan at HRT

I suppose give any team enough money, and they will get some success, but thats no good if theres none for the following year.

Thats what Toyota thought.

Yeah Brawn are a bad example. They fell back dramatically once the Honda money dried up.

My apologies. It was the best eample i could think of. But about this is a cool spot, it's desparate, and i hope they get rid of it.

hmm, I always thought it was a silent 'i' and just pronounced 'riccardo'. Well, that's what the f3 commentator called him anyway....

You're absolutely right. He just said himself (well, recorded previously) exactly what you said, including that the second 'i' is silent. How can you have a silent vowel? 'Vowel' means 'voiced'.

Anyway +1 to you.

…And I was completely wrong! I assumed he was using the Italian pronunciation, since his name derives from Italy.

So its pronounced Ricardo then so the C and I in his surname are pointless. damn aussies!

It's pronounced 'Ricc'ardo'. Needs to spelled that way, too.
