Lewis Hamilton laughed off a suggestion by Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff to play AC/DC in the garage every time before the cars head out on track. Wolff was the subject on a recent episode of the longtime BBC show Desert Island Discs , when he was asked if him and Hamilton had the same music taste. While the pair share broadly the same music interests, the seven-time world champion scoffed when Wolff suggested the idea of playing a song every time to get the mechanics in a mood before a session start.
Wolff: Not up his street
"Not always, the drivers have the rooms next to me at the tracks and I hear him singing when preparing for the races," said Wolff. "I think most often we have similar music tastes, obviously his is much more sophisticated. "But many years ago I said to him 'What would you think if we played AC/DC Thunderstruck by AC/DC in the garage before going out with the cars? In a way to have all of the mechanics listen to this and he said 'It would make me puke!' - Not up his street I guess."
