After watching the USGP and listening to the announcer refer to one of the drivers as "that guy" as in "Oh, and now Shumacher is passing 'that guy'", It wouldn't have suprised me if they had pronounced Barrichello as Varrichello.

The best example occurred when DC was going through the infield with one of the Saubers (Heidfeld?) on his tail. The announcer said, "And there's David Coulthard dicing with . . . another car!"

At least he recognized that it wasn't a truck. Or a motorcycle.

That is sadly true and something that F1 is going to have to deal with soon. American racing is much better in this regard.

My wife saw this interview and mentioned Schumi's comments on Indy. Interesting.

And for those of use who are already serious F1 fans it will be yet another opportunity to listen to the inept ABC announcers try to figure out how to pronounce the drivers' names, how to pronounce the teams' names, how to identify the cars, and a host of other complex problems.

I'm reminded of George Harrison in "A Hard Days Night":

"When she comes on the telly we turn the sound down and make rude noises."
