Are you on about Raikkonen? Because that's spelt correctly, it's just missing the dots (are they still considered to be accents? Not sure)
The missing dots are what I was referring to, it seems so silly without them as they're essentially different letters without them.
I know the name is correct otherwise as I'm Finnish myself.

Dunno, blame FOM in that case - They do the world feed.

e: Should explain, the "world feed" is a broadcast that the Formula One Management make for every race (minus Monaco, but let's not go there), and then that's given to all of the channels across the world which they broadcast themselves - it's in English and it is never, ever in a different language, no matter what country... I guess that could have something to do with it, as they're not English characters?

It's the same with pit stops in a way, people on Imgur were like "Wow, changing four tyres in 3.5 seconds is impressive!", but because I'm a fan I think that's incredibly slow... It's only when you take a step back and you realise that 3.5s is still ridiculously fast.


In Nascar I think only one guy is allowed to have one tool "over the wall" at any given time. So you have one guy with the gas, another with the jack for the car, another one with the air gun to do the tires, other people with the actual tire replacements etc. So their pit stops are always more in the 10 second range. Just a bit different.
