Some of Ericsson’s Spotify playlists are public. Just google “marcus ericsson spotify” if you’re interested.I’m sure many drivers chose songs like Surfin’ USA and Born in the USA just to please American race organisers and local fans.

A Horse with No Name – AmericaI wonder if Kimi played GTA San Andreas when he was with McLaren..
Pretty safe choices from everyone, at least expected some Parkway Drive from Ricciardo or some YG or Future from Hamilton.

5th October 2016, 7:33 at 7:33 am #329825AnonymousInactive@npf1 Hamilton actually chose a song with Future on it, it’s Campaign which features Future.
Although I like hiphop, Hamilton by far has the worst music taste I’ve ever come across. Verstappen’s choices also made me laugh, both songs are older than he is! Not that it’s not possible of course, other drivers have also picked some old songs, but the fact he picked nothing from his era is surprising. Does he actually listen to music?
Most surprising for me were Kimi and Sergio. Kimi for his Finnish song and Sergio for his choice of U2 and Coldplay which I didn’t expect.
