I just had to share this, if only because it was in the FT and it's about one of my favourite literary works...

So they aren't all Russian drivers in any F1 race, "Russian" to get over the line or past the chequered flag...?
I suppose there's Safety in numbers
Enjoy the racing, @Cleoriff!
I am enjoying my Biscuit Tea, even if it's a lovely piece of crunchy buttered toasted "ancient grain sourdough loaf" I'm having with mine, thanks, @Anonymous

There's bound to be a comedic name for that guy, can't think of one at the minute...
Found this, which may interest you (not because it's F1, or RedBull, but because some names are actually appropriate):

(I guessed at 5 of them)
PS... the Russian driver is called Daniil Kyvat and his nickname is the Torpedo (as he has a habit of taking othe drivers out! )
Soviet-era torpedoe names were Kolibri or RAT-52, aongst others... no mush scope for comedic licence there.
Possibly a name like "Karnot Vastenov"?
I am sure you've heard some of these:
