Re: Literal name translations
I've been reading "Faust" by Goethe for my exam, and in the second part (Tragoedie - Zweiter Teil) it appears that "Vettel" is used as a pejorative term to say... well, erm... bitch
I suppose it is only the case with old German, I don't think the word "Vettel" has that meaning in nowadays language
any german-speaking members here?

Google translator tells me Vettel means either witch or harpy. Not far off that meaning.

Re: Literal name translations
From me, talking to Android voice recognition, came the following:
Sebastian Vettel - Serostim Bad day
Mark Webber - Mike Webb
Lewis Hamilton - 3 hello
Jenson Button - yo son.com
Fernando Alonso - Send memos
Felipe Massa - I did the math
Nico Rosberg - Nicholas
Michael Schumacher - Because shimla
Nick Heidfeld - Shi the typo
Vitaly Petrov - Because he picked up
Bruno Senna - Boobs
Adrian Sutil - I need to beat
Paul di Resta - Von d List
Rubens Barrichello - Rose Marie get up
Pastor Maldonado - Madonna
Kamui Kobayashi - Emily off I guess you
Sergio Pérez - I feel bad
Sebastian Buemi - Gambling me
Jaime Alguersuari - Ali and sweaty
Heikki Kovalainen - Hey keith go by lightning
Jarno Trulli - Juggalo toad
Karun Chandhok - Cuddling turnt up
Timo Glock - Demel luck
Jérôme D'Ambrosio - Yum number to see
Narain Karthikeyan - Gotta keep it again
Vitantonio Liuzzi - Because the new york hitch
Daniel Ricciardo - What it is greek god
Red Bull Racing - Red Bull Racing (UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! That's what we were talking about!)
Vodafone McLaren Mercedes - Buffalo New York 11 Mississippi
Scudería Ferrari - Physical video for that
Mercedes GP Petronas - She doesn't want creepy coronas (LOL!)
Lotus Renault GP - Reynolds GP
AT&T Williams - On the lyrics
Sahara Force India - Force India (I SAID Sahara, but...)

Scudería Toro Rosso - Go daddy at the little girls (LOL!)
Team Lotus - Bar Jules
Marussia Virgin Racing - Barack ob 18 racing
HRT - K Italy day (pronounced in Spanish, hache-erre-té); HRT (when pronounced in English!)
After this, I've got to say that whatever WTF1 tried is a pretty decent voice recognition software, actually.
