F1 doesn't do football chants...

... but if it did, they'd be the best in the world. Right?

While watching the Queens Park Rangers documentary The Four Year Plan the other night (which is a brilliant watch, thoroughly recommend it), a lot of the chants directed at the then chairman, ex-Renault boss Flavio Briatore, were amusing to say the least. But chants and songs are something you don't really see in Formula 1, which is no surprise seeing as at a race they wouldn't be able to be heard over the sound of the engines. Anything we do get arrives much later in the form of Youtube videos, of which there are a couple of gems:

 

So yesterday I asked Twitter to come up with some F1-style football chants and songs, mainly to see how they'd work, but more so that we could all have a laugh and make these last few days pass more quickly. The best (read: cleanest) ones are below, but you can find more on Twitter under the hashtag #F1DoesFootballChants. Feel free to comment below and on Twitter with your own suggestions, enjoy.


@hedgeryhoops: "we made your car for you! We made your car for you! (Ferrari fans to McLaren fans after spygate!)"


@domcovkid: "'you're getting sacked in the morning!' Can be used sparingly for Massa and also for STR drivers :)"


@I_am_Jamm: "the chrome, car 3, his hair is dandruff free, Jenson Button!" and "you're not going to make 107% in the morning!"


@BenF1_: "Michael Schumacher, he gets old when he wants"


@AilishCatherine: "And it's Red Bull, Red Bull Racing. We are by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen ;)"


@LHCollision: "He's short, he's red, he'll move if he's ahead, Felipe Massa!"


@Magnificent_Geof: "Chim-chiminy chim-chiminy chim chim cheroo - our cars produce much more downforce than you!"

  2. If more people that write articles involved themselves with writing great content like you, more readers would be interested in their writings. I have learned too many things from your article. https://thevang.tv/highlight.html
