Diaz, the man with two World titles or Carl the youngest World Champion, Johannes the 100th F1 race-winner or Alan who holds the record for the most races before his first win... Who are these guys? Well, these are the lesser known names of your favourite F1 drivers! Some of the guys on the current grid have the most hilarious full names. Here are our Top 8 ‘points-finishers’ in no particular order...
- Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton (Thank goodness they didn’t name him Carlie: that would’ve sounded like the name of the latest pink Harley Davidson for girls!)
- Heikki Johannes Kovalainen (Don’t mess with the Johannes! Ever seen that weird Adam Sandler movie?)
- Mark Alan Webber (From A-lan down under, mate!)
- Sebastien Olivier Buemi (...Twist!)
- Kimi Matias Raikkonen (That should’ve been spelt Mat-ICE, really!)
- Fernando Alonso Diaz (Not related to Hollywood ‘hottie’ Cameron, mind you!)
- Nelson Angelo Tamsma Piquet Souto Maior (Now, that name would make an ancient king blush!)
- Nick Lars Heidfeld (This guy’s parents must’ve loved Metallica - Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield!!!)
