    Hi there.

    I work with networks, and our racks are named after a few folks you might recognize:

    Fangio
    Schumacher
    Hill
    Ascari
    Surtees
    Hawthorn
    Lauda
    Schecker
    Villeneuve (no champ, but still)
    Barrichello (forza Rubens! :D)

    I'm adding 2 more, and am trying to figure a decent pair of names for them.

    1) They have to have been a Ferrari F1 driver
    2) Champion is a plus, but not necessarily with Ferrari
    3) Irvine is not allowed :D

    That's funny: my wife's company names theirs after "Fawlty Towers" characters, so they have Basil, Sybil, Polly, Manuel, etc. We recently had to sit down and watch som episodes to cme up with a name for the latest: Mrs Richards. :)

    SO I'm only too happy to drag out my refernce books and help you out.

    From 1951:
    Villoresi

    1952:
    Farina

    Hirt
    Rosier
    Simon
    Laurent

    Adolff
    de Terra
    Maglioli

    That's the list avoiding duplications: most names appeared in all those years. Have fun!

    I think if anyone gets special dispensation...I mean, without him, we wouldn't HAVE a list of Ferrari F1 drivers! And he did start out as a racer.

    I'd go with Nuvolari and Andretti. Both Italian, both champions, both very recognizable.

    I was in a pub in Amsterdam many years back. We were taking turns buying pitchers. On each new pitcher, everyone would raise their glasses and say "prost". ((okay, "prosit".)) On one toast, I said "Nigel Mansell". Nobody got it.

    Well, it was World Cup week -- F1 was kinda off the radar.
