India is being congratulated by everyone for organizing its first Grand Prix successfully. However, the Indian media hasn't managed to get the pronunciation of the guy who won the race correct. No one did. Not even the ladida English channels. Sebastian Vettel is pronounced as zay-bah-sti-ahn fettle. In the initial position in German names 'v' is pronounced as 'f'. In Hindi, this would read as ज़ेबास्तियान फ़िटल. In the surname the vowel sound is actually a short 'e', as in bed. But it is difficult to show in Hindi.
