An extremely trivial post.  As the good Colonel would have said "UTTER FLUFF".

I have just seen Henri Pescarolo's full name given as  Henri Jacques William Pescarolo.  Is this correct?  As he is French surely the William should be Guillaume.  If his parents were anglophiles then surely Henri would also have the English form Henry.

Not wanting to be alarmist but could you change the post to say - trivial question about....?

 

There are those among us who assume the worst when seeing the thread title.

 

Thanks.

On the Jochen Rindt Trophy for the F2 Thruxton races, his surname was misspelled as "Pescarola' when it was engraved back in 1973.

Not true.  There are several 100% French people who live not far from me in France called William.
