#Another ex-driver who is just outstanding is Daniil Kvyat and I think that Carlos learnt a lot from him back when they were teammates

What do you think of Carlos’ Italian? Has he got a good accent? He sounds mesmerising! wish I could understand him when he talks.

Hello Anon! Sorry for the late reply!

Carlos speaks amazingly in Italian, he has a good accent, he sounds much better than other people I know whose first language is Spanish, but you can still tell that he’s Spanish.

He makes some mistakes but very few tbh. He tends to sometimes mix Italian and Spanish sounds or words; for example, I heard him say in many occasion a word that you can hear in the video I’ve posted of his interview at the French GP (HERE) at 5:05; he wants to use a word that in this context means “whatever”, which is: “qualsiasi” /kwalˈsi.a.si/ that in Spanish is "cualquiera" /kwalˈkjeɾa/, but you can hear that Carlos uses a mix that sounds like “cualquie-siasi” which is just so cute 🥰.

That’s such a little thing tough; he uses words that are part of the actual spoken language and he does it in such a natural way! He also knows many terms that are used just in the f1 world that he must have learnt by speaking with Italian people in the paddock because you can’t study those on a book. So, yeah, he’s pretty brilliant in my opinion.

Tbh I’m always amazed when I hear drivers speaking Italian, so many of them speak in such a natural and proficient way; Charles has almost no accent, sometimes he makes mistakes but he speaks better Italian than English, Alonso is almost like Carlos, Ocon is not perfect but fluent, Pierre and Daniel are not that good but they still try sometimes, Daniel is just so much fun to hear but it can be a little bit embarrassing, not for how he speaks but for what he says 😂.  Nico Rosberg needs a special mention though, he is just WOW! I couldn’t believe it when I first heard him speak. His accent is so on point! You can tell that he grew up with people that are from the norther part of Italy because that’s where I live and HE HAS MY ACCENT, it’s so weird because he can mess up words or tenses so that you know that he’s not 100% Italian but you could never tell that he’s German!

Back to Carlos, I think he has improved a lot in these last two years working with Italian people in Italy, he just keeps getting better and I agree with you Anon, he’s just so mesmerizing to hear and watch ✨✨✨✨❤️.

I didn’t mean to write an essay about drivers and Italian..oops..thank you anon for your question! Next time I’ll try and be less verbose 😅
