What is the difference between aluminum and aluminium?  Aluminum is the American spelling and aluminium is the British spelling for this ductile, malleable silver-white metal. This is one of a number of spelling differences between British and American English, such as: aeroplane/airplane, aesthetics/esthetics, colour/color, encyclopaedia/encyclopedia, paralyse/paralyze. The principle differences are: 1) a final -l is always doubled after one vowel in stressed and unstressed syllables in British English, but usually only in stressed syllables in American English; 2) some words end in -tre in British English and -terin American English; 3) some words end in -ogue in British English and -og in American English; 4) some words end in -our in British English and -or in American English; and 5) some verbs end in -ize or -ise in British English, but only in -ize in American English. In common speech, some 4,000 words are used differently in the UK from the United States.
I actually have a killer, fake British accent and use it quite a bit ; P "The hood of my M3 is aluminium as a matter of fact". My original quote is from a US comedy - just FYI : )
Bottas has superb English pronunciation. He will be a great replacement for Nico overall, language skills included.
Steve Matchett is a British ex-Benetton F1 mechanic, now a television commentator for US F1 broadcasts.
I know nothing about him, since I don't watch US broadcast, so I cannot comment about his pronunciation. Martin Brundle, David Coulthard, and other commentators on SKY and Channel 4 don't use phantom Rs, to my knowledge.
Lol maybe that's why they have a career in broadcasting. They have learned how to talk good for them. Hobbs and Matchett like to throw the R on there. Matchett is the worst offender, I like him otherwise Diffey is also terrible about it but he isn't a Brit
Nothing compared to what the whole NBC team does to Kvyat whom they call Kefir for some inexplicable reason
Bottas at Mercedes for visit - Valtteri Bottas visits Mercedes F1 factory as he nears 2017 deal - F1 - Autosport
No shock there. Lowe going to Williams was the key.williams wins as they have Lowe and Stroll $ coming in. Massa will help develop car under the new regs.
Yes that would be a nice change for F1! All the best for the New Year and hopefully F1 will make us happy again
