It's apparent because he doesn't whine like lewis does.

or is it whinge?

Hasn't had his quali stuffed up by his team mate yet. Give him chance. If Lewis had responded in kind and dived in the pits before Nico when the crash happened you may have heard some whining, or is it whinging?

I'm not a brit so idk. I'm sure nico would have been like, "eh $#@! it I'll just win it again like last year"

I'm pretty sure if Lewis got ahead by unfair means
a) it's Monaco, Nico wouldn't have won it
b) you'd have heard some vociferous complaining.

dead serious tho, what's the difference between whining and whinging? I like how you used the word vociferous

[racechick]

You could interchange those two words, either would fit most circumstances you needed to use them.

Thanks!

Whining - American
Whinging - British

Are they pronounced the same? Or does whinging sound like winjing, phonetically?

[Jabberwocky]

I always thought whining was the sound a gearbox made when it had no oil.

They're not pronounced the same. As you say, whinging has a soft g so it's winjing phonetically. Whining is pronounced like the stuff you drink. Wining and dining.

You need to watch Coronation Street to learn some Britspeak. Since they dominate the sport and all. (Pretty terrible show but it's the only British tv we get here.)

All British made TV soaps are bad. In fact all TV soaps are bad

This one is a very popular one up here:


I've nicknamed it "The Old and the Useless"!
