A threesome you don’t expect! Charles Leclerc and Stefano Domenicali they are excellences in the world of Formula 1. A Ferrari driver, present and future of the Maranello team. The second president and CEO of the FIA, the organizing body of the quintessential motorsport competition. They have a lot in common, but who would have ever imagined seeing them also as singers? This new side came to the surface during the fourth episode of 2046the talk hosted by Fabio Rovazzi and Marco Mazzoli about the world’s prospects for the future. Initially, Domenicali was a guest in the studio, together with singer Francesca Michielin, making some interesting statements on the evolution of F1.
Formula 1 will never be electric under Domenicali’s aegis
At Mazzoli’s revelation about his “little sympathy” (it was a little more colorful…) nourished towards electric cars, the former Lamborghini number one has excluding a Formula 1 dominated by electrics. It is outside of the plans, as it would, in a certain way, distort the identity of the races. The hybrid is ok, but saying goodbye to the internal combustion component is a different matter. At least as long as he is in the control room, the scenario can be ruled out. As for the singer-songwriter, the reason for her presence is easy to say: she loves engines, and during the chat she told some anecdotes that have always linked her to this sport. Each with a different set of experiences and qualifications, Domenicali and Michielin made sparks.
The trio of wonders
Then the gem, capable of inflaming the people of the network, in the tricolor sign. Land on the Fiorano circuit, where the Prancing Horse has always tested its wonders, they spoke face to face with Leclerc and Domenicali. Not, however, in the traditional way, but at 300 km/h! On board an F1 car, Rovazzi asks them if there was a song, known to both of them, that they could sing. Stefano insists: “You start, I’ll follow you”. Charles attacks: “I love you, I love you…”, Rovazzi joins the party and it’s a show! The song is, needless to say, I love you by Umberto Tozzi, classic of Italian music. Launched in 1977, contained in the album “It’s in the air… I love you”allowed Tozzi to win the Festivalbar that year.
In its harmonic simplicity, consisting of just four chords, it has bewitched the hearts of thousands (no, millions!) of listeners. Often the subject of covers, for example by Diane Warren and Laura Branigan, the charm of the original piece is unique. In 2024 the band The Kolors he brought her to the Ariston stage together with Tozzi himself during the covers evening of the Sanremo Festival. Fans of the TV series will remember her later The paper house, having been inserted in an episode of the fourth season. The nice moment given by Leclerc and Domenicali thrilled the Italian people, as evidenced by the rain of likes and comments on social media. If the talent of the Red already attracted sympathy due to the talent and spontaneity that distinguish it, now she will do it even more!
