Worth a watch. GT2RS vs AMG GTR

 
Very close.

At least they pronounced Ricciardo properly.

Phonetic pronunciation Rich-ardo :thumb: "cc" in Italian = English "ch"
 
Our local OPC have sent out invitations for a VIP day to order a new car, you have to email them to arrange a suitable time. Apparently cars will need to be ordered in 2017, so I've asked for a GT2 RS not fussed on the delivery date as long as it's GT silver.
Still haven't got a reply back yet but there's time!

Its the i in the middle.

Daniel, MW and Christian Horner all say it, but not the commentators
 
Webber plays it pretty well..
 
For my surname, I have 2 pronunciations. I use an anglicised version that makes my life easy in English speaking countries. I then have the correct pronunciation in Italian which sounds different all together.
If you went to his dad's village in Sicily, you'd see the difference.
Much in the same way in Spanish "LL" has a different sound than it does in English.

Don't tell me...

In England you are known as Mr Smith and in Italy they call you Mr Jones!

Indeed. Untraceable from one girlfriend to the next. But in all seriousness, in first cousins, there are 6 of us with the same name, and second cousins included there 12 or 13 of us with the same name. You would think that family gatherings would be a nightmare but we each had our own unique call sign. Much in the same way you could have William, Will, Billy, Bill, etc.
 
I'm with Webber on this. I just don't like Mercs either. Not sure why. Totally irrational. And it's not just me: Bottas, as a paid Merc driver, runs a C4S (which certainly isn't a company car) up here in Finland.
