If F1 drivers had 'boxing' nicknames

[MrKipling43]

How we spent some downtime after deciding it would be really funny if F1 drivers were 'announced' like boxers are. My personal faves are 'Pop and Lock' Timo Glock and the Toro Rosso drivers.

Enjoy.

Dont agree with the Trulli name. He is a very talented racing driver. If only his fortunes had been turned around earlier on in his career, Go back watch some of his very first races.

That was kind of the point of the nickname.

Kimi "The Iceman" Raikonnen?

Took you a while to figure that one out eh?

[MrKipling43]

Oh come on! If the hat fits, wear it.

Blimey - I wasn't going to spend hours on this, it was something that amused us.

Some earlier generation drivers did have nicknames.

El Chueca - Fangio (it means "bandy legs" )
The Professor - Alain Prost
Regenmeister - Rudolph Carraciolla (the Rain Master)

Phill get + 100 LOLs and wins at the internet. The Geneva Gentleman is inspired and I particularly like The Puma and The Pianist.

I think it helps to say them in your head like a comedy Las Vegas announcer: "Takuma. The Poomah. SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH"

Ace! I don't know where they pick it up from - it's not really a well used English phrase. Perhaps it's a common expression elsewhere in the world and it's a direct translation. Did the English guys pick it up from the other chaps, or the other way round?
