I have seen it suggested on the 'net that the corner should be called 'diabolica' (in reference to monza's curva parabolica, as if you needed telling). I really like that name. Sounds...well...diabolical, much like the corner >=)

On Turkish television, the presenters said that sort of a survey was accomplished among turkish fans and they came up with "Ottoman", which refers directly to the "ottoman slap", a very popular idiom in Turkey. Besides, the equivalent for the number 8 in italian happens to be "Otto". So it makes great sense and i agree with them!
