    I do believe that if Jenson Button and Stirling Moss were in the same era (preferably the 50s or 60s with those names) and same team it would be a spectacularly and ridiculously British pairing.

    Arnoux if I haven’t mentioned him before.

    I don’t know why, but i’ve always been partial to Finnish names. Hakkinen, Raikkonen, and Kovalainen are awesome (and hard to spell…)

    +1 for the Finnish names DamionShadows. Raikkonen especially. Kimi-Matias Raikonnen. Fantastic name!

    I know it’s not cars, but Valentino Rossi sounds so fast and cool.

    And as for F1, there’s only one winner… Gaston Mazzacane!

    A couple of days ago, I found a driver in the 1953 championship called Spider Webb!

    There are some great names in the 1953 season (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Formula_One_season#1953_Drivers_Championship_final_standings) of which Adolfo Schwelm Cruz has to be one of the best!

    This is one I just remembered.
    Birabongse Bhanubandh (Prince Bira Of Siam)
    I saw him race a number of times always with the sky blue cars & bright yellow wheels. I saw him first with the ERA,s which he named Romulous & Remus (got there before Seb)& later in a Ferrari of the same colours. 1949 1950 1951 & 1952 I think.
