Spanish Newspaper Leaves F1 World Laughing as Drivers Lewis Hamilton, Pierre Gasly Dubbed With New Names

Imagine calling drivers Lewis Hamilton ‘Luis’ and Pierre Gasly ‘pedro gaseoso’! A local newspaper from Spain recently did that. The world reported about the thrilling Azerbaijan Grand Prix, sometimes adding their own twists and turns to the names. Notably, these driver names sometimes have their own versions of being pronounced in a specific part of the world.

However, this specific newspaper gave fans a lot of things to laugh about all at once. While they wrote some names fine, ‘Jorge Russel’ and later G.Russel, caught many eyes. ‘Carlos Leclerc’ was definitely another surprise that may have left F1 fans in splits. ‘Luis Hamilton’ may still be understandable. However, one name, in particular, caused many to react.

AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly, who came P5 at Baku, popped up as ‘pedro gaseoso’.

While some could be Spanish versions of the usual names, ‘pedro gaseoso’ seemed rather confusing.
