I love music, and I love classic Formula One. And I always wonder about what music drivers liked listening to.

I don't know an awful lot but below is all the information I do know, and if you know what music your favourite drivers liked then I would love to know!

Niki Lauda:

His favourite song was 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman, but he also liked lots of her other songs like 'Talking about a Revolution'. He listened to Bob Marley a lot in the 70s and was a fan (and friend) of George Harrison. He liked the song 'Imagine' by John Lennon. He was also a fan of Bill Withers, Randy Newman, Rod Stewart, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin, and he was also quite the fan of George Ezra and would hit the dance floor if the song 'Budapest' came on.

Roger Williamson:

He loved rock and roll music and would listen to it while working on his car. His favourite band was T-Rex, their song 'Get It On', being one he listened to most. His partner at the time said she now always associates the song 'Killing Me Softly with his song' by Roberta Flack with Roger because they sang it on a road trip not long before he passed away.

Wolfgang von Trips:

He liked classical music because of his mum and upbringing, but he was also introduced to Jazz music when he came in contact with the Americans who took over his house for a bit, which he loved.

Mike Hawthorn:

In one of his Sunday Times car reviews, he mentions listening and singing along to the song 'Hey There' by Rosemary Clooney on the radio.

James Hunt:

I don't know what song or artists he liked, but James Hunt loved listening to music and would carry radios and other transportable music devices to listen to music. I believe he liked classical music but also the current popular music. He and Niki went to a disco with Fat Domino playing, so potentially, they were both fans of his.

François Cevert:

I believe I read somewhere that Jackie Stewart said François Cevert's favourite music was 'Beethoven's Piano Sonata no 8 in c minor' and that he could play it well.

What if Love? Love signals growth and quest. It is not a static state but a dynamic process of becoming. The card symbolizes the desire of two or more conscious entities to merge into a synchronized and vital pulse. It represents recognizing one’s daemon in the physical form of another. It’s not merely about balance; it’s about empathy and a refreshing current of bliss. (via First Decan Cancer, Two Water, Two Cups)

Some information about Roger Williamson from the book 'The Lost Generation'

Roger was inspired to race by his father who raced speedway bikes

Him and his father raced together

A local, Tom Wheatcroft, who wanted to help a local boy offered to buy a new engine for Roger Williamson. Later Tom's wife opened their front door to find Roger covered in dirt and oil holding a ticket to Silverstone for Tom.

When Tom arrived, Roger had crashed and thought it was the end of his career. Tom sponsored him and got the car fixed for the race.

Roger would be cost conscious and refused to get things he didn't need even if Tom implored him to.

Roger never took his support for granted

"He always had time for you, and had absolutely no side. If he said "hello" to you once, he'd always acknowledge your presence there after however tense the race environment was."

"He never came in and said it was the car, never blamed the far. If anything weren't right, he thought it were him that were off."

Roger would take his girlfriend around the track before he raced so they knew what was going on.

"He was, in many respects, quite shy"

"I've always liked red wine, and when we would go out for a meal he'd say, "I suppose you want some of that red stuff?" He rarely drank wine, but if he had some he'd say, "Hmm it's not bad is it?" He was never a great drinker, and he used to tease me and say, "you'd better choose the wine, I haven't got a bloody clue what I am doing!" - his girlfriend

He wore a flat cap as his personal gimmick

His girlfriend has always associated the song 'Killing me softly with his song' by Roberta Flack with him as they drived around listening and singing to that song one day

"The one thing I actually fear more than anything is being burned alive." - Roger Williamson
