Where else but Formula 1 you would see a Spaniard and a Brazilian arguing in Italian?
Felipe Massa and Fernado Alonso had a small cultural exchange after today's race at the Nürburgring where Fernando put a fantastic move on the Ferrari driver.
As the RTL feed starts apparently Fernando had accused Massa of bumping him intentionally... (original expetives maintained to add color! I revidsed the translation a bit after finding a repeated listens, but the gist is the same)
Alonso:"too bad.."
Massa:"you think I did it intentionally?"
Alonso: "you wrecked my whole mirror..."
Massa: "ma va' cagare..." (go bleep yourself)...you win and you say somthing like that...sei un coglione (you're an idiot)
Alonso:"you did it intentionally, you cannot do that, I fought with Heidfeld and nothing happened you should learn..."
Massa: "you try to learn..."
Alonso "you try to learn...I have fought with the whole world and with you, we touch in the last three laps.."
Massa "Bravo" "yeah right, I did it intentionally, just like in Barcellona... bravo"
In the press conference Alonso apologizes to Massa for the accusation...I'm guessing it's not over though.
That's GREAT!!!!
ReplyDeletei love it... no PR bullshit!
I hope we go back to the days of real racing drivers!
Nevertheless, I find it amusing how they curse each other in Italian and not Portunhol (Portugueese/Spanish blend) which is more natural to each.
They both speak Italian quite well actually. I guess English is not necessarily the F1 language of choice evn though it's the "official" one....
ReplyDeleteor maybe arguing just comes out better in Italian :o)
massa's just mad cos he was promised several underage boys to him as a gift from the management over at teh FIA if he would have won.
ReplyDeleteway to go alonso!
