I would not be the least bit surprised if most every team incorporates some form of sound system into their F1 machines. I'm sure the additional weight (no more than a few pounds) pales to the increase in performance of the driver. Afterall, I always drive faster--a lot faster actually--when I've got my stereo pumping. Here is only a short list of what I imagine some F1 driver's have been listening to:

Rubens Barrichello: Satisfaction by the Stones.
Eddie Irvine: Cherry Pie by Warrant.
DC: Same Old Situation by Motley Crue.
Montoya: Oops! I did it again by Britney Spears.
Michael Schumacher: Champions by Queen.
F. Alonso: Teenage Wasteland by The Who.

OK, how about:

RB: Under your Thumb - Godley and Creme.
MS & EI: Three Wheels on my Wagon - (?)
RS: Angel is the centrefold - J.Giles Band.
JPM: (Don't want to be a) Fat Man - Jethro Tull.
JoV: Crash - The Primitives
JB: Things can only get better - M People.
JA: Never can Say Goodbye - ?

And though he's not a driver, Newey's song should be A Design for Life by the Manic Street Preachers.

Teenage Wasteland by The Who.

Never heard of it. Do you mean Baba 'O Reilly?
