Former Beatles lead-guitarist George Harrison enjoyed motor racing as an escape from the music industry. In 1977 he wrote 'Faster', a song dedicated to 'the entire Formula One circus' and later the memory of Ronnie Peterson who died at Monza the year after. After sound effects from the 1978 British GP were added, it was released as a single in aid of the late Gunnar Nilsson Cancer Fund.
