It was mentioned to me recently by friends that when I talk F1 I have little nicknames for them, just wondering whether this is shared amongst f1 fans. Vettel - Seb Webber - Mark Alonso - Nando/Ferdy Massa - Button - Jense/JB Perez - Serge/Checo Raikkonen - Kimi Grosjean - Romain/RoGro Hamilton - Hammy Rosberg - Hulkenberg - Hulk/Nico - the one who drives for Sauber Gutierrez - Guti/Jonas di Resta - Paul/Dire Sutil - Adrian Maldonado - Maldo/Pasta Bottas - Ricciardo - Ricky Vergne - JEV Pic - van der Garde - Giedo/vdG Bianchi - Jules/Dreamboat Chilton - Chiltz/Maxi-boy Note: Obviously Kimi is Iceman, and Alonso is a Bull fighter, but I don't actually refer to them like that
The only ones that I don't use their surname for is Raikkonen - Kimi Hulkenberg - Hulk Maldonado - Maldo di Resta - dire resta - not even with caps

oh thank god I thought this would have more cheese puns, that would really be milking it I don't tend to abbreviate driver names, although I will slip in and out of using a first-name basis fairly casually, as anyone who's read my posts on Lewis / Hamilton will know. There are some good ones in here though. Bando

Because of F1 Rejects. Grosjean = Rooooooooooooooooooomaaaan Grooooooooooooojean! I find myself saying it every time I see him. Oh and Maldonado = Super Maldonado
I only have a couple of different names I use, otherwise its pretty much just their first or last names. I'm not that creative when it comes to names! The only one I use which I haven't seen anyone else mention is calling Massa - Phil. I heard Bob Varsha use it before (I think) and for some reason that one stuck!
Oh man, I totally forgot about that! It more makes me a bit sad though because I'm realizing my forgetfulness is stemming from the fact that he's been gone for so long.
