Il ricordo più marcante di quel Gran Premio d'Europa 1999 quando Luca sembrò in grado di giungere QUARTO a bordo della sua MINARDI. Ma il già "vecchio" V10 della Ford non resistette e Luca non poté ritenere le sue lacrime dopo essere stato costretto al ritiro.
Eu vim de longe e quero swinguera
Por onde passo, levanto poeira
Eu tô de boa e quero mais me divertir
Com ou sem você, eu vou dizer: tô nem aí
(2X)
Tô nem aí, tô nem aí
Tô nem aí, tô nem aí
Tô nem aí, tô nem aí
Tô nem aí, tô nem aí
(2x)
Veja só, você era tudo que um dia eu sonhei
Quando te vi, de cara eu gamei
Não sei se era amor
E se for, deixa pra lá
E agora estou assim
De cara nova, estou pensando mais em mim
Tudo na vida, um dia tem que ter um fim
E o que passou, passou, vou te dizer: não tô nem aí
Tô nem aí, tô nem aí
Tô nem aí, tô nem aí
Tô nem aí, tô nem aí
Tô nem aí, tô nem aí
