What are some examples of countries calling other nations by names completely different from the universally accepted English names (like how Indonesia uses "Mesir" for Egypt, "Tiongkok" for China, "Belanda" for The Netherlands), and how did those names come to be?

I've been thinking recently that quite a lot of county names in my native language (Indonesia) are heavily influenced by travelers, colonizers, and traders. Are there other examples of this and what is this phenomenon called?

Genuine question, why do F1 stop having tire war since 2006?. Is it just because it's not profitable anymore for tire companies?

I never got to experience this since I was still a kid back then. But seeing it now, it looks kinda fun to have different tire companies competing with one another so we have team competition, driver competition, and tire competition. Has F1 become too much of a monopoly and capitalistic?
