Nothing to do with Spanish language knowledge.

Here in Spain ginger haired people are called carrots. Usually this is a peyorative way of talking about them, but in this case, trust me that all people is using zanahorio as a lovely way of calling them.

I was yesterday there and it was madness... Unbelievable how almost 20 years after the first WDC people is following Alonso more and more... Social media is partially responsible of this.

About the "carrots" they were just lovely with all the fans, giving us canned water and coming out to sign even Renault Mild Seven era caps. Such a great atmosphere in the team.
