I'd rather watch an episode of Thunderbirds or a Dolph Lundgren movie than the likes of Coulterd, Hakkinen, Raikkonen, Kovalainen and all the other Wankkonens and Jocks go round the track. They should be banned from F1 for being dull boring robotic wankers. John Then don't watch the damn race, they aren't being paid to entertain |
Maybe you should go to the circus instead, that would be more your
speed.

Seriously? Why do Finnish surnames seem to always end in nen? Hakkinen Raikkonen Kovalainen What does the nen bit stand for? Neanderthal Emotionless Nordic?

But, to actually answer your question (which I suspect you don't
actually really care about), my guess is it's a form of patronymic, such
as the Russian "-ovitch", or "-ovna" (son- or daughter- of) . ie. Dmitri
Petrovitch Jones, means "Dmitri, son of Peter, Jones".
I could be wrong.
Doc?
English has the same thing, but it has lost its significance, to wit:
Davidson, Johnson, Peterson, Fredrickson, Williamson, etc.

Still, there's no reason why kimi couldn't at least smile when he wins the race, instead of standing there looking like his dog just died. |

Wasn't that when he had his pants off ? ;-) |

Q: Ron, if you were Kimi, what would you to say to yourself to make you
commit to another two or three years at McLaren?
RD: If I was Kimi? Would I be married to his wife? It has some
relevance. There are very few people - very few - who really understand
Kimi. I'm not sure if he even always understands himself.
But one thing that Kimi wants to do is to be world champion. Three times
we've failed very narrowly to give him the world championship that he
seeks. There is an understandable underlying frustration there that is
rarely seen by anybody and even rarely seen by I. I want him to be world
champion.
I'd much prefer it to be in one of our cars than someone else's but I
believe in choices and if Kimi chooses to stay or go or we chose to
offer him a drive - all the other things, all the options just in, not
that we both have, then I want him to succeed.
I'm absolutely sure that the best thing a driver can do is stay in one
team - history shows that, but that's not always the opinion that a
driver has. I respect everything he has done and all he's brought to the
team and I'll continue to respect that if he takes up one of the options
that he has and I'm sure that he'll respect us when we take up our
options.
The position we're both in is exactly the same - we don't have a
decision to take at the moment. Kimi knows everything about the team.
The one thing we all know is that life looks greener on the other side
of the fence.
All the things you could expect me to say to him and his management,
I've said, and you can expect all the other teams that are interested in
him have said similar things. They're not always truthful, but that's
life - it's Formula One.
