#366 F1, IndyCar and Formula E. We celebrate the 1,000th something, but is IndyCar better entertainment than F1? We’ve a radical suggestion for electric racing. Sniff Petrol on the new Lotus and a lack clarity from Pierre Gasly. Plus the Jean Todt song.
The Air Güns - The Jean Todt Song
Who is that, looking like a frog?
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Don’t you know he kisses Michelle Yeoh?
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Who is that acting like a God?
Jean Todt, Jean Todt! Jean Todt.
Who moves like an arthropod?
Jean Todt, Jean Todt! Jean Todt!
He is small looks sad and lonely
He is even weirder than Max Mosely
Jean Todt, Jean Todt
Jean Todt, Jean Todt, Jean Todt,
Jean Todt, Jean Todt.
Jean Todt, Jean Todt
Who is that who’s tiny but he’s highbrow?
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Who’s the man with funny little eyebrows?
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Who is that, who won’t say sorry?
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Who’s the man who favours Ferrari?
Ah Jean Todt, that’ll be Jean Todt!
He’ll be standing under the podium
Looking like a toad who’s been crossed with Napoleon
Jean Todt, Jean Todt, Jean Todt, Jean Todt! Jean Todt!
I remember when you fell in love
You looked at Michelle as she looked down from above
And asked “Mr Todt, tell me how will this work?
Me with my head in stars
And you down in the dirt”
He said : “My love don’t you worry
What’s the rush, there’s no hurry
There’s still plenty of time for me to grow tall”
She replied
“But Jean, you’ve been growing
for over 40 years and there’s still no knowing
if you’ll ever be as tall as a low garden wall
And if you ask me honey frankly there’s no chance at all”.
Out of his way he leads the FIA!
Jean Todt, Jean Todt, Jean Todt
It would be insane to see him in the pit lane
Jean Todt, Jean Todt!
Who’s got a plan that is obtuse and complex?
Probably Jean Todt, Jean Todt
Who’s got a son following his footsteps?
Ah that’s a Nicholas Todt.
But don’t think that you will be rid of him any time soon
Because one of his best friends is former UN leader Ban Ki-moon
Jean Todt, very clever that Jean Todt.
