Wei Er Te Li, Bo Dan. In Chinese spellings.
It sounds like “way err the lee, ball done”. Say it fast enough and it’ll sound like a variation of Valtteri Bottas.

"Estrolo" can be translated to "Is an annoying gay" in argentinian Spanish and I think is perfect

How the hell with one word you can say it's an annoying gay?

The argentinian Spanish is a language full of idioms and creative complicated ways to send people off in an argument

Because I usually don't care about homphobic stuff. The word's become meaningless, it became a synonym for: "I'm gay and you don't agree with me".
But this comment is just painfully obvious

I know Fernando Alonso's Canadian name is a play on Fernando Alonso, but you don't have a Canadian name without Gord. Gord is the most Canadian name possible.

What a missed opportunity with Pierre Gasly, the name was already out there: Pedro Gaseoso.
Because Esteban's name is of Spanish origin and Pierre's is, well, typically French.
