George was a @f1 enthusiast and some of the drivers from the sport, including @sirjackiestewart, @96f1champ and @emersonfittipaldioficial, were among his best friends. In his book, 'I, Me, Mine', George talked about his love of F1 and how the song 'Faster' came to be: "'Are you going to write a song about motor racing, George?' was a question I was asked a lot by various people from the Grand Prix teams during visits I made to the races. So I did 'Faster' to write about something specific, as a challenge."
