    There’s a Tony Schumacher in drag racing. No relation, of course.

    Zsolt Baumgartner was quite amusing – and not just his name.

    And though a team and not a driver, Forti Ford also sounded amateur (no doubt because they sounded like “Faulty Ford” – a well-deserved nickname!)

    From the world of rally, I always thought Juha Kankkunen had a funny-sounding name.

    Names I found on Wikipedia
    Spider Webb
    Hans Stuck
    Piero Scotti

    I like names like Clay Reggazzoni or Stirling Moss or Jenson Button.They stand out.

    Gaston Mazzacane is quite memorable, maybe because it sounds like ‘dog killer’ in Italian.
    Also BAR-Honda sounded like “baraonda”, that stands for ‘total chaos’.

    Satoru and Kazuki Nakajima had pretty cool names. In fact most Japanese drivers have!

    Dick Seaman really is unfortunate. Guess it wasn’t as funny back then.
