F1 teams and drivers as books, movies and songs

[Brogan]

Something me and c_a_t were having a laugh with the other night in chat.

Try and think of a title of a book, movie, song, etc, that applies to a team or driver.


The obvious one is the Bourne Identity amd Bourne Supremacy for Brawn GP

Liar Liar for McLaren/Lewis Hamilton

Crash for Renault/Nelsinho Piquet


Any more?

A long time ago at a circuit far far away...

STAR WARS Episode I: The Piquet Menace

In the first race under the stars, Darth Flavio has hatched an evil plan to send his apprentice Darth Alonso to victory in the Singapore GP. The race will be led by two Jedi Knights, Obi-Wan Massa and Mace Hamdu. Can Darth Flavio use his powers to force young Nelson Piquet into the wall? Will Yoda be elected FIA President? And will the extremely annoying Max-Max Binks get the chance to punish Darth Flavio?

Ok, you get the idea!

I reckon when Lewis gets home from work he bursts into a chorus of:

"What's new pussycat!!"

 

[Brogan]

Not anymore apparently, haven't they split?

 

[teabagyokel]

What, the pussycat dolls, or Lewis and Martin Brundle's favourite interviewee.

"What are you here for?" "The racing" ...

 

[cider_and_toast]

Ok then so he sits there and sobs a version of:

"All by myself"

 

[Brogan]

Not a song as such, but how about the "Eyebrow Dance" advert for Alonso

 

[McZiderRed]

For Formula1 - The Chain by Fleetwood Mac!

Sorry, I was forced to post that!



As recompense, I suggest for the street circuit, Valencia - Up The Junction by Squeeze.

Also, for Flavio Briatore* - Yesterday's Men by Madness.

I'll get me coat...


* P.S. - The spellcheck on Firefox has the following suggestions for Flavio Briatore - Flaming Inebriate!

 

[Speshal]

The Crying Game for Renault employees.

The Italian Job for Luca Badoer.

The Fast and the Furious for Lewis.

I F(ia)ought the law and the law won - Ron Dennis.

Radio GaGa - Pat Symonds

Bitch School (spinal tap) - Max Mosley

 

[Brogan]

With the news that Briatore is gone, "Happy days are here again"

 

[teabagyokel]

"We are the Champions" - Button?

"I want to break free" - BMW

"I get by with (a) little help from my friends" - Hamilton/Raikkonen/Alonso

"Sorry seems to be the hardest word" - Flavio Briatore (again)

"Suspicious Minds" - Duet Ron Dennis/Alonso
