    • Christine Sings A Song For Felipe Baby

    Posted on April 25th, 2009 by Oliver White in Asides

    There’s being a Formula One fan, and then there’s being a Formula One fan. And it would seem that Christine from Sidepodcast has taken being a fan to a whole new level. You see, Felipe Massa is yet to score a point in 2009, and his team hasn’t been doing much to improve thus far, Ferrari enduring the worse start to a season since 1981. If Felipe or Kimi don’t manage a top-eight finish tomorrow, it will be the Scuderia’s worse ever start to a championship campaign since their debut as a constructor in 1955. But fear not Ferrari fans, because Christine has a good luck message for the young Brazilian…

    To the tune of Santa Baby (yes, you’ve guessed it already) the host of Sidepodcast and F1Minute has added her own lyrics, and in a seductively lavish tone, Christine has sung her heart out in a hope that the lovable 2008 runner-up might get his championship off to a start in Bahrain. I strongly urge you to take a listen, I promise you will not be disappointed. The lyrics work wonderfully, and you know you’re in for treat when the whole premise of the song works around a radio communication between Massa and his engineer Rob Smedley.

      Thanks Ollie :)

      Mr C says I need another holiday. We’re wondering whether this counts as jumping the shark!

      Sorry to be a pedant Olli but Ferrari entered the championship in 1950.

      No way! I think it is too much fun to be classed as jumping the shark.

      But the constructors weren’t recognised as such until 1955 when the they earned their own championship. I am aware that Ferrari have been around for as long as the sport, so was careful to add “as a constructor” to the sentence. I guess my language is ambiguous though.

      Of course, no one noticed I said “2009 runner-up”… :D
