Pretty much exactly like that. I don't understand how anybody with even a passing interest in cars, let alone somebody who runs an F1 team, can pronounce it that way.

Honestly? I love it. That’s how he should say it. He should make Renault execs cringe every time. That’s who he is.

Sorry, friend, there seems to be some confusion. FI is the name of the whole sport's organization, not a team. It's right there in the logo.

He pronounces it exactly like I've heard every American pronounce it, which is incorrectly, but only slightly more incorrectly than Brits do

Americans have magical new ways of saying a bunch of car manufacturers. With some, like Hyundai, they're probably more correct. With a bunch of other ones, they're probably not.

Hold on a sec... Is the Petrobras deal in conjunction with Renault, and Mobil1 on the way out with Honda? I can't remember which lubrications go with which engine manufacturers except Petronas and Merc. And was Mobil1 really behind the curve in their performance like was claimed? Because if Petrobras is an improvement in that department, and if the Renault can manage to be better than the grenade-waiting-to-happen Honda power unit, then I might be starting to get my hopes up. Does Petrobras do development with Renault? Are they the supplier for the factory team too?

Petrobras have switched from Williams now that Massa has gone. They won't have experience with the Renault engine. Afaik the works Renault team uses Total fuels etc

Santander is leaving Ferrari, at least as a major sponsor. Wonder if they increase their deal with McLaren.

You’d think that, but Alonso has been at McLaren for three years and done nothing with Santander. All of their advertising has been with Button.
