Talk:Rafael Sperafico

Sperafico's family

According to brazilan newspapers, Rafael is not Ricardo and Rodrigo's brother. He is a cousin. Woodcote (talk) 16:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm - all of the (presumably inferior) English sources I can find says that they are brothers. I'll wait until I get a copy of Autosport on Thursday; that's usually more reliable than the internet news sites.--Diniz (talk) 18:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to discuss this further on the Sperafico article's talk page.--Diniz (talk) 18:28, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, grandprix.com lists them as cousins, and Joe Saward and co are usually on the ball with stuff like this, so I've changed the article accordingly.--Diniz (talk) 18:34, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Bittersweet"

I also doubt that the day is bittersweet for them. You could be crowned king of the world but any gloss is taken off by the death of a loved one. Strange wording. VonBlade (talk) 18:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what bittersweet means.--Diniz (talk) 18:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that's exactly what bittersweet means. My point was that getting promoted on the day you break your leg would be bittersweet, losing a loved one in a horrific accident would rob anything of sweetness, thusly it was solely bitter. However that's my own opinion so it's not a problem. Still makes for a strange sentence though VonBlade (talk) 12:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
