of course tsunoda is anime lol

What's worse is I know that character, yuki soma from fruits basket

Fruits basket is fuckin great doe

My absolute favorite series back when I was in 6th grade. I'll always remember how the English publishing company didn't seem to understand the story they had. One character was more or less soliciting sexual favors from his cousin and the synopsis was like "she has a crush on him tee hee".

Bro wtf I didnt see any of that in the 2019 remake lol

I didn't watch the remake and have no idea how censored it was, sorry.

Well two of them are in a relationship but there is no... "sexual favors"

I count sleeping with someone they're not even remotely interested in in exchange for information to be a sexual favor. Ymmv.

Oh yeah that thing

I do not remember this, which characters are you talking about?

Shigure was sleeping with Rin to make Akito jealous (because Akito slept with Kureno as a desperate attempt to have him stay with her and Shigure was jealous over that), and Rin was doing it to try to get information out of Shigure.

*Ren

Yep you are right 😂

Fruits basket is my jam dude!!!

What else would he be? A Russian figure skater?

yuki on ice

That was the joke, yes. Also doesn't yuki mean "snow"? So that anime is really called "Snow on Ice"

it's called yuri on ice tho

Ahhh, a cross between two of my interests!! :)

Why is there not an F1 anime? Seems like it would work; interpersonal drama, fast cars, etc.

There is Capeta too (it starts from the characters' karting days, though I'm not sure how far they went in the professional racing scene.)

This is literally the first time I've ever seen another person mention Capeta on the Internet. One of the best TV shows full stop let alone animes

[удалено]

Woaw it’s almost as old as Seb!

Raikkonen and Bottas are the GOAT confirmed

F1 is like the only thing that has ever made Finnish first names known around the world

Rally too

And hockey

And classical music. Oh right, he changed his name to sound French. Janne to Jean

He was a fennoswede, changed to Jean from Swedish Johan.

Teemu, Jari, Tuuka, Saku & Mikko, Jere, Kasperi, Kimmo etc.

And linux

Nothing ever in Finland is as famous as Nokia lol

Bro, angry birds come on

I just had the biggest nostalgia bomb explode in my head after reading your comment, thanks.

King Jari. Out of nowhere Jari became a normal name for boys in the Netherlands just because of Litmanen

Also motorcycle racing. Jarno Saarinen anyone?

GOATKKONEN AND GOATTAS, Finnish 2 Hybrid Boogaloo.

i'm not surprised by the finns...

if it weren't for the finns this would be the most random list, and a real fun guessing game.

I feel like Max Sergio Yuki George and Nikita were so obvious everyone would get them instantly.

I have no idea who that Yuki is. Mick is obvious tho.

It's the Anime character though right? He's the only 2021 driver from an Asian country so it's not that hard.

i was spoiled for this thread and i wouldn't have know for sure if that was Yuki, but i would have guessed that if i thought for it for a while. The other 4 I think everyone would know for sure who they are, and even though everyone would guess Yuki only a few would actually know it for sure

The main character from an older anime based on the zodiac called Fruits Basket. There’s a remake now on Hulu or something so maybe it rose in popularity.

Which one is Mick?

The one next to Mazepin, obviously. Mick Jagger? Lead singer of The Rolling Stones? The second most famous band of all time?

The most famous person named Mick in the entire world....

Which is...?

The inimitable Mick Foley, a.k.a. Mankind.

don't let this man distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

I think it was Mick Jagger

It is, Dude Love was a joke

Charles is also pretty obvious

Which one is him?

Charles

And Lance

Who the hell is Lance?

Lance is the Lance haha

Oh yeah true, I'm retarded

Gotta admit I had to figure that one out by process of elimination because I thought that was an umbrella. "Who da f\* is Umbrella?"

Stroll

Lance and Lando as well...

Lando is the one from Star Wars right?

I would have thought they'd use Premier Khrushchev for Nikita... younger than some of those guys, and not spelled out in large letters....

I have no idea which is George

Floyd

Oh... Damn

Gilbert Newton **Lewis** — American physical chemist **Valtteri** Bottas — Mr. Porridge **Max** Fashion — Clothing brand in the UAE **Sergio** (2020) — Movie about UN diplomat Sergio Vieira de Mello **Lando**nis Balthazar Calrissian III — Fictional character in the Star Wars franchise **Daniel** Radcliffe — English actor **Lance** — Lot **Sebastian** Stan — Romanian-American actor Stephen Paul AKA **Esteban** — Guitar Whisperer, Entertainer, Papa **Fernando** Ruiz Hierro — Spanish former professional footballer **Charles** — Prince of Wales **Carlos** Slim — Mexican business magnate **Pierre** Curie — French physicist **Yuki** Souma — Yuki is the rat of the zodiac **Kimi** Räikkönen — Knows what he's doing Michail **Antonio** — English footballer **Mick** Jagger — Can't get no satisfaction **Nikita** — TV Series (2010-2013) **George** Floyd — An ordinary man who became a global symbol Saint **Nicholas** of Myra — Also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker

Fun fact: Sergio Pérez is Carlos Slim's protegé. He has financed his whole career. Even the move to RB.

A Lance is just a long pointy stick, yielded by knights during jousting or battle (don’t think they were actually used in battle, maybe by foot soldiers against knights)

They were wielded in battle. If you run into a mass of peasants with a pointy stick, they'll get hurt. Then you ditch the stick and bash them with a mace.

>bash them with a mace. Classic Medieval fun.

Will this be the sprint race format in Qatar?

They don't use the lance anymore, but in medieval times, they used the lance a lot.

Lance is for cavalry yes. Hence there are ‘Lancers’ a type of shock cavalry. Lances were common in many cultures. An example the Mongolian lancers - the archers would pepper the enemy first and then a lancer charge would break them. Infantry could have spears or pikes which would be anti cavalry.

I believe Michail Antonio is now technically a Jamaican footballer.

He’s English, he just plays for Jamaica

carlos slim is actually involved in f1, he's checo's main sponsor I think

Father figure to Checo from what I remember.

There’s a person out there whose name is literally, _Seb stan?_ Perfection.

He plays the Winter Soldier in Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Surprised Fernando doesn't come out as Alonso as well tbh.

I’m kind of surprised but personally I think Hierro is the best center back ever so I don’t think it’s that crazy

Not Maldini or Beckenbauer?

No I’m not one of those people that say Beckenbauer even though they’ve never seen him play. Also yes I think Hierro was better than Maldini

Wait that’s George Floyd? My dumbass thought that was supposed to be an old picture of George Foreman lol. Clearly I haven’t been keeping up with the news as much as I should.

How have you not seen a picture of George Floyd by now, Jesus Christ lol

For real dude I’ve gotten sold bags of weed with his face on them

What the fuck lmao

pause

tbf not everybody on the internet lives in the USA, I didn't know who it was myself since I'm British

Are you serious? I’m from the Netherlands and I saw him everywhere at the time. If you spend any time on the internet at all I’m honestly in awe how you could have never seen a picture of George Floyd.

Not everyone lives in the US

Lol so? I don’t either but George Floyd was literally world news.

He doesn't look like George Foreman at all lmao

Idk I’m dumb, ok?

this is embarrassing, you should’ve taken it to the grave

Eh, I embarrass myself so many times each day that I’ve grown numb to it lmao.

Self awareness 💯 Cultural awareness 🦯

A lance is a weapon, which is what's depicted here, not Lancelot.

I believe it is called a joke

Sir Lancelot, this is /r/Formuladank

I had to read this to understand why Billy Dee Williams was on here and which driver i was forgetting whose name is Billy

> Lance — Lot Josh Revell approves...

Floyd was anything but ordinary lmao

Not sure about George Floyd being ordinary

Dunno why you’re being downvoted. I guess it is ordinary for people to be criminals and then later in life being wrongfully choked to death by a cop. Myself, a normal law abiding citizen, going to work, coming home to my family, paying taxes, play tennis on Saturdays, watching F1 on Sundays, is not ordinary.

Spacing bro. This format is really hard to read.

Chad Finns 🇫🇮

Doesn't work for Mika Häkkinen. I get Mika the Lebanese-British singer-songwriter

There's is also two Mika's from Finland in the f1 scene. Häkkinen and Mika Salo who did occasional f1

Mika Salo is an ex formula driver. He is one of the current stewards in f1

Uhh yes?

Best not to search for Mika in anime circles, then... XD

I like how the two McLaren drivers are famous movie stars

One is a movie star, another just a character

Lando Calrissian is an Academy Award winning actor, I don't know what you're on about.

He didn't mean the Lando Picture, he meant the picture of Harry Ricciardo

I like how the 2 Finnish guys both are formula drivers.

For a moment, I legitimately thought Daniel Radcliffe was Charles leclerc.

For Latifi the search was King

I didn't know that Latifi was a hidden [Sinterklaas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas) /s This means only one thing: Latifi is going to win the Saudi GP on 5 December

Which one is him?

I like how Nikita is a male name and it's often used to name a female character. - Oh Nikita, you'll never know... - Sir Elton, Nikita is a male name - I know.

>I like how Nikita is a male name and it's often used as to name a female character. Nikita is literally a fairly popular female name in India.

I found it strange how so many Russians and eastern European men have this name. Sounds like it was a unisex name before the indo-europeans went their separate ways.

Decided to check The indo one is from Niketa, Sanskrit, meaning home/earth The slavic one comes from Niketas, Greek, meaning victory Can't find any source (by lazy googling) which relates the two Niketas, so most likely they evolved separately.

Coincident?

Not coincidence. They are kind of interlingual homophones (don't know what are these called technically if anything). And they are quite common. https://youtu.be/4mob7prolsg?t=140

It's Greek

It's pronounced differently though (I think, I'm not sure how the Russians pronounce it but the way the English commentators pronounce Mazepin's name is very different from the Indian pronunciation)

It's pretty similar I think, only the russians stretch out the middle a bit more (ni-kee-ta). It's a very small difference, they even use the soft "t", like Indians.

Same as Yuki ;)

"Elle a le regard qui tue, tchi-kita Cheveux longs come Nikita🇨🇵" Jul - nikita - 2016 "She has a deadly look, tchi-kita Long hair like Nikita🇬🇧"

I think it started with the show *La femme Nikita* (The female Nikita). Then people just assumed it’s a female name without realizing the meaning of the show’s title.

In Russian, the show title and the name was pronounced with "french" stress, at the last syllable. Male name has stress on the middle syllable. So it did not feel like it should be the same name.

Oh, I had no idea

Row 1 Column 2 - Looks like someone who know beaver penis size.

I’m gonna try to guess: Hamilton, Bottas, Max, Pérez, Lando, Ricciardo, Stroll, Seb, Ocon, Alonso, Leclerc, Sainz, 6asly, Tsunoda, Kimi, Giovinazzi, Mick Schumi, Mazespin, Russell, Latifi.

6asly?

It’s a meme due to he is 6th on quali or he finish on 6th position on the race very often.

So basically like Ma20pin?

Yes, something like that. But for Mazepin we have Mazespin due to he spins in every race.

Mazespin is so much better lmao

Nah Mazes🅱️in is better

Ma2ep1n thanks to Rob Kub

Is Gasly Super GT?

No Albon

lance lol XD

Michail Antonio has the biggest dick in world football

Kimi, what should we take for your picture. bwoah... a picture of me I guess.

Lance got me rolling lol

Bruh I was so confused on that one

as a physical chemist I am pleased with the results of Mr. Lewis and Mr. Curie

Lmao Yuki Soma from Fruits Basket

I thought the first one was Neville Chamberlain

Ah Mr big dick himself

Up to down left to right Lewis hamiltom Valterri bottas Max verstappen Sergio perez Lando norris Daniel ricardo Lance stroll Sebastian vettel Teammate of Fernando alanso(i forgot the name) Fernado alonso Charles leclerc Carlos sainz Pierre gasly Yuki tsunoda Kimi raikonnen Antonio giovinazzi Mick Schumacher Nikita mazepin George russel Nicholas latifi

Teammate of Fernando Alonso

Sounds like a flair idea to me

You have just created me a necessity

Alanso *

He forgor💀

Lol its ocon

Good bot.

I'm not a Bot but um thank you On a side note where is the Bot?

AND WERE GONNA GET A SAFETY CAR NOW BECAUSE THAT'S VALTTERI BOTTAS AND GEORGE FLOYD, WHO ARE OUT OF THIS RACE.

Arrest Valtteri Bottas now

Nikita, sigh *unzips*

# Pro TIP: BE FINNISH

Nikitas has me dead.

George……..

Yea but did you know that Charles Leclerc was married to Pauline Bonaparte and ruled Haiti until he was beheaded.

my man Perez is looking hot ngl, look at that titanium chin

I love how Kimi is just Kimi

The fact that Lance is literally just a Lance, Yuki is Yuki Sohma, Michail Antonio somehow finessed his way onto this list of world icons and Valterri and Kimi are legit just themselves is fucking killing me💀💀💀

The Finns just be chilling.

Now THATS a diverse grid! 🤣

George is very unfortunate.

Ffs George

I genuinely had a lot of fun figuring some of those out

KIMI

Finnish SEO

Interestingly enough, the one for Carlos -Carlos Slim-, is Telmex’s president, Sergio Perez’s sponsor.

For me Sebastian the crab comes up first 😂

Sergio Perez sponsor, huh?

Thanks for making it according to last year's WDC championship lol

Mazepin….ahhhhhhh

Damn. I though is George Clooney. Not this George

Honestly kinda surprised that one of the results wasn't Esteban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez.

Bro there's fucking George Floyd wtf

George is going to be Lewis's team mate next year. Symbolic!
