For the Olympics this year on every athlete’s profile was an audio clip of them saying their name twice, first normally then sounded out slowly. It would be awesome if F1 did the same.

[@Liggliluff]

I wish the Olympics could spell their names correctly as well. They're limiting every name to just A-Z, misspelling a lot of names, Anglosising non-Latin names (gets weird outside of English), and so on. Not very international of this international competition.

[@DSBMAC13]

It's funny, that you mention Jyrki Juhani Järvilehto (yeah, I can pronounce that :D ) cut his name short on the advice of Keke Rosberg, to make it easier for international press, but then calling Keke Rosberg by his nickname "Keke" instead of using his real name Keijo Erik Rosberg - he advised Lehto to do so, because Rosberg did that himself :D

[@saraollinmaki5160]

so the thing is, keke is finnish, nico is german, but the name rosberg is swedish so you'll have the way english people prononce it, the way germans prononce it, the way swedes pronounce it AND the way finns pronounce it the way i, and other finnish people, say it is ˈruːsbæri the only common deviation is that some people say the e just as an e and not a æ

Hello, Italian here! I think you generally did a good job with the names, definitely better than most english native speakers do but just a couple of things for future reference: - double c (cc) and ch make the same same sound and it's a hard c - while ci/ce are always pronounced with a soft c (the opposite of english basically, 'ce' in Italian sounds like the 'ch' in cheddar.) - e is always pronounced like in 'enemy', the way english speaking people pronounce the e as a standalone is how we pronounce the 'i'. but anyway you did a great job and this was a huge thing to do and the effort is always appreciated. love both channels, keep on with the amazing work, I always learn something new when I open one of your videos!!

The "Ch" in Christian in German is actually pronouned like a K, the biggest difference between the German and English pronunciations of the name is that in German the "-tian" is pronounced something like "tee-ahn". Jo Gartner's actual name was Josef, so yeah, should be a "Yo". With Hubert Hahne, the "e" is actually pronounced, smth like "Hahneh". Michael May was born in Stuttgart (Germany) and seems to have mainly worked with other German-speakers, so that's probably the intended pronunciation. Which means his last name ends on an "ee" sound, not and "ey". German commentators pronounced Sutil's name as "Sooteel" so I am assuming that that's the intended pronunciation. Wurz, again, German U is an "oo" sound. So from a German native speaker: You did better than the average EN-speaker, which is already neat. Also Rs in Spanish are not always rolled, it's specifically the double R that signifies a rolled R (at least in European Spanish which is what I learned in school). Also Spanish words are by default stressed on their second-to-last syllable unless an accent tells you otherwise, afaik that also holds true for names. Gs in Spanish are pronounced like the English G... unless they're before an E or I, then they're this harsh H/Ch-kinda sound. That's btw also why you see "gui" and "gue", that's their way of getting the English G + I/E. Js in Spanish are also the H/Ch-kinda sound usually. In Japanese you actually have a short pause before a double consonant. So Hattori would be more like Ha-ttori.

[@Donanzador]

Got a bit of practice to do with the Finnish names still. Valtteri Bottas and Heikki Kovalainen were pretty spot on, but then on it was a bit spotty. In Mika Häkkinen, you don't double the K sound in the first name. Ä is pronounced more like the letter "a" in "cat". For JJ Lehto, the H should be pronounced like you did for Heikki Kovalainen and Mika Häkkinen, and the "o" at the end is a short o, like you did for Bottas, not an anglicised "oh" sound, like you did. For the JJ part I've heard two pronunciations even from Finnish speaking commentators, JayJay like you said, and more like "Yii Yii", tho using the full Jyrki Järvilehto is more common (which I'm not even gonna try to teach over text, all I'm just gonna say is, that was not it xD ). In Kimi Räikkönen you for some reason again doubled the second consonant in the first name, it should be just a short m sound. Räikkönen on the other hand was pretty close, tho the ö went a bit more into "o" than "ö" sound. For Keke Rosberg the original pronunciation of the surname actually uses the Swedish spelling, otherwise that would've been right. The O makes a long U sound (like in "woo"), the E makes an Ä (Finnish pronunciation, so kinda like "a" in cat) sound, and G at the end is actually pronounced as "i" (like i in the word "in"). Not sure if he or Nico still use that pronunciation tho, since neither to my knowledge live in Finland. @25:05 Sounds like you briefly forgot that he's German there, that was very English pronunciation. Pretty sure the U is pronounced long, like in the word "woo". And in the surname the A is a long aa sound, like in "car", and the e at the end is pronounced.

[@josemojeda1527]

Mexican here, so I speak Spanish natively. Yes, I'm gonna cover every Spanish sound because I have nothing else to do right now and I'm bored. 1.- For the G, we have both soft and strong sounds, with the soft one being a soft J (or stronger H for you English speakers), and the strong one being like a french R that we don't keep going, think just one touch of the tongue with the soft palate. The soft sound is used in ge- and gi-, with the strong sound being in ga-, go, gu, gue, and gui. If you want the U to sound in gue and gui, you put them cute little dots above it, diéresis we call it here, look just like a German umlaut, so it would look like güe or güi. So in Jaime Alguersuari's case, it's a strong sound with a silent U. 2.- For Pablo Birger, the I sound in Spanish is what you call E in English. So Beerger would be pretty much it. 3.- For Juan Manuel Bordeu, it's pretty much a Catalan surname (I think), So it's BordEU, separate sounds unlike the French city. 4.- Yes, there are many descendants of Italian immigrants in both Argentina and Brazil, so saying many names as if it was Italian is actually correct, like with Bucci and Burti (maybe not his name though). Bueno clearly comes from either Spanish or Portuguese, as it literally translates to "good". 5.- While you're right about the accent, we don't have the "Ay" sound for A. It's just A. Simply A. Soft sound I think it is, and actually much wider than in English, a clear A instead of "Ah" I guess. 6.- For Cantoni, his name is pronounced "Ay-tell", as the Ei- makes that sound. 7.- For Ettore Chimeri, it's as Italian as a name can be. Though, just as you were told with Chiesa, it would be pronounced "Kee-meri", as the CH in Italian makes the K sound. 8.- Nothing wrong with Colapinto, just that it isn't Italian. Just a funny Spanish surname. 9.- With Antonio Creus, see point no.3 as well. Same thing. 10.- With Nasif Estéfano, note the accent on the second E of the last name. That means it's the strongest vowel in the word and should be highlighted over the rest. 11.- For Fangio, I guess it's pretty much right with both Spanish and Italian pronunciations as I've heard both. However, the G is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay softer than you said it, especially being an Argentine. 12.- For Asdrúbal Fontes Bayardo, see point no.10. 13.- For Miguel Ángel Guerra, see points 1 and 10. Also, the RR is a strong R sound, that one rolled sound you can't really do. Also found in initial Rs and after a vowel as long as there isn't another vowel after it. 14.- For both Roberto Guerrero and Esteban Gutiérrez, see point 13. 15.- For Jesús Iglesias, the J is like a soft G sound (see point 1). NavF1 pointed it out before me, but yeah. Applies to every Spanish J you may find. 16.- For Carlos Menditéguy, it is a pretty hard name to grab at first. The pronunciation would be "Men-dee-TEH-gooey", notice the accent on the E that is usually not written in English. 17.- Nothing wrong with Roberto Moreno, but it's much closer to Spanish than Italian. Moreno roughly translates to "tanned" as in sun tanned, so yeah. Fun fact, one of my schoolmates had that very surname, not related at all. 18.- For Sergio Pérez, see point 1. The Italian pronunciation of "Gio" doesn't exist in Spanish, that's just how people have read it and decided arbitrarily it's said. For that sound it would be written as "Yo" or "Llo". 19.- For Luis Pérez-Sala, the final S in Luis isn't silent. Only the H is silent in any case except in CH and SH (which we actually took from English), and the U when placed in "gue" or "gui" (see point 1) or after a Q. 20.- For Héctor Rebaque, it's more about the strongest vowel whenever there aren't any accents that mark it. When it ends in N, S, or a vowel, it's the second to last, which is the case. Otherwise, it's the last one. In this one, it would be pronounced "Re-BA-que", following the grammar rules for it. Applies as well for all those named Esteban, including Ocon. 21.- For Adolfo Schwelm Cruz, The final Z is not like a German-like TZ sound. In Latin America we pronounce it pretty much just like an S, though in Spain it has the TH sound. Known reference would be Cruz Ramirez from Cars 3. 22.- For Moisés Solana, see points 10 and 19, though it was kinda close. 23.- For Alex Soler-Roig, I think it is an Aragonese ending, which has a SH sound. It would be pronounced pretty much just like "Rush". 24.- For Alberto Uría, see point 10. 25.- For Emilio de Villota, pretty close but the attack is stronger, as if it was an English J. 26.- For Emilio Zapico, see point 20. Edit: The English J sound is found in Spanish with Y and LL only, never in the J, which the Dutch took from Spanish and was massively tuned down in Latin America. Edit 2: Basically it's all down to "what you see is what you say", something that's completely alien to Germanic languages as a whole apparently... Edit 3: You seem to be adding a lot of French R's where they are none, for example, Eugene Chaboud (no idea how to put that accent in a Spanish keyboard). You said it as if it was written "Chabord", and instead it would be said as "Sha-boo" I think. Also (this I'm certain), the "-in" endings in French surnames are pronounced as "-ahn". I never went past A2 level in French so don't take it as absolute truth though. Also, not related at all, but Bernard de Dryver and Scott Speed couldn't not be racing drivers with that name.

Some comments from an intermediate Japanese speaker: Naoki is pronounced somewhat like “now-ki”, not “Nay-ok-i”. The way you said Inoue is correct, ou is just a long “oh” sound. Toranosuke is said more like “toranoske”. The u is nearly silent (devoiced). Japanese doesn’t have stress, but stressing the second syllable is closest to how the name sounds in Japanese in my opinion. Watch your short and long vowels. Sometimes you said a long vowel when the name has a short one, eg. Satoru has all short vowels. EDIT: long vs short vowels can be hard to tell because it isn’t always written, eg. Yuki Tsunoda’s first name in proper rōmaji is Yūki, but the long ū is not generally written in English due to diacritics not being available. I’m actually not sure how to tell which names have long vowels and which don’t without individually researching each name… That said, in the case of Tsunoda you said it correctly.

My controversial opinion: If your job (and this is a job) makes you have to pronounce foreign names/words, you should learn the IPA and just learn the foreign words through that.

"Spider" Webb is not to be confused with a spider web, and other people with their names "Spider Webb" such as Ellsworth Webb, an American boxer who's unrelated to him, also nicknamed "Spider". His real name is Travis Webb. He began racing on the Muroc Dry Lake (now known as Rogers Dry Lake) in 1928. His car owner gave him the nickname "Spider", which explains why he is known as Spider Webb, although Travis is his real name. For "Gimax", his real name is Carlo Franchi. He entered one World Championship Formula One Grand Prix with Surtees, the 1978 Italian Grand Prix, but failed to qualify. He also participated in one non-Championship Formula One race, the 1979 Dino Ferrari Grand Prix. He also took part in Italian sportscar racing, especially in European Sportscar Championship. His pseudonym "Gimax" actually came from putting his two children's names - Gigi and Massimo (Max) together. He never raced under his real name, and his son has also raced using the name "Gimax", (either if it's Gigi or Massimo, but I'm not sure). Bobby Ball is actually Robert K. Ball, while Bobby might be his nickname. He ran in the Indianapolis 500 twice, recording a fifth place in his first 500 in 1951. And as for "Geki", his real name is Giacomo Russo. He also participated in three Formula One Italian Grands Prix from 1964 to 1966, failing to qualify for the 1964 race, driving a Brabham for Rob Walker. For his two Grand Prix starts, he drove for Team Lotus.

Often in germany/suisse/austria (not always) the ending er is pronounced as an a. so Marc Surer would be Marc Sura and you rolled the r a bit to often, I know the cliche is that germans love they r, but it's often not the case. It's in the sweetspot between rolling and how english people would pronounce it, and in German, you normally pronounce every letter. so Hahne isn't hahn, it is hahne. But they are also exceptions to that rules. Like Vettel, I would say the right pronounciation of that is Vettel, but every German speaking person says Vettl.

I absolutely forgive you for the Belgian drivers. There's no way of knowing how to pronounce those names unless you know whether these drivers spoke Flemish or French, especially because of how many of them have names that are originally Flemish or German, but whose families migrated to Wallonia. And even then, if they came from upper-class families, chances are they grew up in Flanders, spoke Flemish at home, but their social standing encouraged them to speak French because it carried more prestige in Belgium until at least the late '60s.

[@JimmyTheTurtle892]

Another tip: for the French names, try to put the stress more on the last syllable. It doesn't work for every name, but your chances of being correct are higher when you put the stress at the end (typical for French intonation), than if you put the stress on the first syllable (as is very typical in general for English as well as German).
