I remember an F1 journalist telling me that if you think Raikkonen is monosyllabic in English. apparently he’s even more so in his native Finnish!

Didn’t want you to get a big head :0)

I was thinking of Raikkonen. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t speak English, and I can’t work out whether they are even words!

It is quite the beard, isn’t it!? And it goes so well with the floppy haircut.

how difficult it is to understand when they talk

Do you mean language/tone issues (say, Raikkonen), or whether they spout out a load of jargon all the time (like Wurz)?

Thanks for the link from Sidepodcast, by the way. I preferred the first synopsis, but the current one is more than adequate. Which reminds me to update a few things around here and crack on with the various pages…

To be honest, I think there’s room for all of them. It’s a bit like school, some are loud and obnoxious, others are quiet and ignored.

I tend to form opinions based on very odd things, like what colour their helmet is, how difficult it is to understand when they talk, or how Yeti-like their beard is.
