Seriously? Why do Finnish surnames seem to always end in nen?
You mean like "Rosberg"? Or perhapslike "Sibelius". Or perhaps like
"Torvalds"? Or like "Mikkola", "Salo" and "Gardemeister"?

Other racing - Grönholm, Kallio, Alen, Sundström, Rovanperä ...
Other sports - Nurmi, Viren, Hyypiä, ...
Other fields - Jansson, Mannerheim, Snellman, Agricola
(Olavinpoika), Ahtisaari, Koivisto, Lönnrot, Kivi, Laiho, ...

Okay, granted: that's one nit-picking opening I carelessly left open
to you. But it doesn't change the fact that a lot of people here think
it is very important that they dislike someone and post messages that
would better fit in a shouting session in a pub after the last brain
cells have been dronwed in beer. Probably why there is also a
moderated version of this ng.

Do you mean he should take a public relation course to fake emotions

Do you mean that Raikkonen is not happy when he wins a race?

or do you mean he should quit racing because of his personality?

LOL!

First, please don't top-post. That's not the accepted way in rasf1.

Second, have you ever wondered why the moderated version is, ummm, just
stagnant?

I am glad to see even this ng has some ethics. Personal attacks are
ok, top posting is not. Is this better, mr. moderator?

Dunno, tell me. Maybe you all love to talk about personal
characterisitcs in stead of racing?
