Grosjean.

Vimto, Finger Boy, Teflonso, Pastaface, Jenson Balance etc. etc. I think some of those might be OcUK exclusives though

Maldonado is Braindead Moron Mk II™, and shall be as long as Carl Edwards still has a drive in NASCAR. And because I haven't had cause to reiterate it for a while, we should mention 'Our Lord And Saviour The Almighty Messiah™' Lewis Hamilton

Oh, and not a driver, but on a similar note - 'The Almighty Satanic Evil That Is Bernard Charles Ecclestone'. One of my favourites for lampshade-hanging.

*MKIII
Don't forget about Cecotto in GP2.

We can also add Princess Stampy Foot to the list of Vettel nicknames: http://www.offonf1.com/winners-losers/display_article/winners_and_losers_hungarian_gp/12-07-29
(Old article, but I love the nickname)

I thought Cecotto was Mk III™, were his stupidities before or after Pastor used his Williams as a weapon to assault The Messiah™'s car at Spa in 2011?

I genuinely don't know, I just thought you had forgotten about Cecotto. Come to think of it Cecotto is younger than pastor so Cecotto should be MKIII

Vimto and Finger Boy for Vettel have definitely come from elsewhere, along with a large number of other nicknames that I cannot type here.

Maldonado: Crashtor, the Butcher of Caracas, and a few American fans call him Reverend Resume (Maldonado is apparently the Spanish word for a CV).

Webber: Bad Luck Mark Webber, because commentators say it so often they must be his first names.

Nico Rosberg: Britney. Don't ask.
