F1 Fanatic

Basically, see if any song lyrics can be related to any F1 people.#

I’ll start.
Now, this is by Nicole Scherzigner, and my relation is to Alonso, so something’s gone wrong there. It relates to Alonso’s time at McLaren, and whether he’ll ever go back to the dark side.

Nicole Scherzinger – Don’t hold your breath
You can’t touch me now there’s no feeling left
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath
What you did to me boy I can’t forget
If you think I’m coming back don’t hold your breath

Not sure if this is exactly what you have in mind, but there’s a line in ‘Runnin’ Down a Dream’ by Tom Petty that goes: “The last three days the rain was unstoppable” which, every time I listen to it (which is quite often, it’s a great song) sounds a lot like “The last three days Narain was unstoppable” which always amuses me and my simple mind :P

Also the entirety of Billy Joel’s ‘She’s Always a Woman’ perfectly sums up Ferrari.

Haha nice one Dan! Running Down a Dream is on GTA San Andreas, I always used to listen to that radio station while flying about blowing things up in the Harrier jet…

I suppose that BMW engineer who got electrocuted by KERS back in 2009 could’ve made a cameo in the video for the excellent Danger! High Voltage

And I guess anything by Justin Beiber for Seb Vettel – are those guys twins or does Seb do singing in his spare time?

‘The Wanderer’ by Dion can fit Sakon Yamamoto quite well, albeit with a bit of tweaking…

Oh well, I’m the type of guy who will never settle down
Where struggling teams are rife, you know that I’m around
I race ‘em and I spin ‘em ’cause to me they’re all the same
I pay ‘em and I drive ‘em they don’t even know my name

They call me the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around

Oh well, there’s HRT on my left and there’s Spyker on my right
But Super Aguri is the team that I’ll be with tonight
And when they ask me, which team loves me the best
I tear open my shirt and show ‘em the money on my chest

‘Cause I’m the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around

Oh well, I roam from team to team
I go through life without a care
And I’m as happy as a clown
With my two fists of cash and I’m going nowhere

I’m the type of guy that likes to roam around
I’m never in one place, I roam from team to team
And when I find myself without another drive
I pay to get in that car of yours and ride around the world

Yeah I’m the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around…

Since we’re on the whole Queen/Red Bull driver theme, how about

for Mark Webber
Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen

BBC chose Wonderman for a race after Vettel won and some of the lyrics are very apt.

“Yeh, these haters couldn’t get to where I am with a full tank of petrol”

As a Linkin Park fan I think this verse from “Points of Authority” goes well with Michael Schumacher in a way…

Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won’t last
