Anyone got nicknames for some of the drivers of any series? Here some of mines.
F1

"The Hack" Mika Hakkinen - see the last three years of race footage in the McLaren, see him on top of the podium. Also see him jump from back on cars.

Eddie "the Shooter" Irvine - the word "shoot" is often used in wrestling meaning unplanned, unscripted happenings from interviews to the ring. The way he goes off, he's really shooting.

"Racin'" Ralf Schumacher - formerly known as "Reckless" in Jordan; very calm in Williams.

CART

Christiano "Whazzz" da Matta - Bergren (sp?) style nick

Alexander "Googly Oogly" Tagliani - remember those Snickers commercials that had a man working on end zone spelling the word "Chefs" and later on freezing the ice, looking at the billboard with bikini women only to have his boots freeze on ice? He saids "Googly Oogly" everytime. Mistakes here and there from this young driver. See if he improves.

Memo "Irvine" Gidley - remember Senna/Irvine at Japan 91? Watch this years US 500, watch Gidley unlap himself and manage to climb from the rear.

"Chargin' Eagle" Alex Barron - the fastest driver in ill-fated Eagle chassis and the only driver to lead a race in one. Lived it up to the name when he drove for Dale Coyne in the final races.

IRL

Donnie B - better than calling him Donnie Beechler

Eddie "Over-A-Cheever", "Under-A-Cheever", "A-Cheever" - he been there, up and down, dealt with it, went through it, depends what he does on race days

NASCAR

Viagra Martin - Pfizer now sponsors the car. They also produce Viagra.

Ricky "On the Edge" Rudd - the question comes every year, "Will he win a race and when?"

"Rampage" Robby Gordon - see his CART days and first stint in NASCAR. I am not sure if he had calm down as of yet.

Wally D - short for Wally Dallenbach, Jr.

"Brutal" Bobby Labonte - other than his teammate Tony Stewart, he's the most dominating driver in a Pontiac.

Others

Jeremy F'N McGrath - he's the MAN in motocross

With Finnish letters theres rude phrase:
"Olivier panis jos verstappen antais."

vocabulary:
Panis -> panna -> put, shag, fock
Jos -> jos -> if
Antais -> antaa -> give/allow

[cuckoo bird]

David Coulthard - Coffin Face (his square jaws looks like a coffin cover)

Jacques Villeneuve - The BARBARIAN
(his balding head and that stupid beard makes him look like a barbarian)
JV also looks like the ghost that creeps out from the drain cover in Michael Jackson's Thriller MTV.

Michael Schumacher - Cobbler , Shoemaker

Eddie Irvine - Loose Cannon. (but this loose cannon is not as irritating as JV)

Johnny Herbert - Duck Feet (maybe the huge accident in 1988 made his feet looks like a duck's feet when it was smashed)


Ron Dennis - Grumpy ( this idiot can't stop grumbling,very irritating)

Jean Todt - FAT ASS, The Preacher (getting sick of his preaching on Ferrari Team spirit and MS)

Frank Williams - Uncle Scrooge
(FW looks like that guy Uncle Scrooge from the story Christmas Carol, both Scrooge and Williams looks very skinny, wear glasses and most important of all, both of them have the same stingy looks)

[man from martinlaakso]

Colin McRae got the CilinColin nickname, when he managed to fell his car twice in a short period of time in the Finnish Rally some six seven years ago. In the last year he managed to get to the finish of this rally for the first time in his career.

Mika Haekkinen is called Haekae (we write it Häkä). That is a shortened form from his family name. In Finnish it also means CO, which is a tastless poisenous gas.
