Formula 1 Intro...

Please, go back to Outlands by Daft Punk from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack! Please!

That new Hip Hop, RnB, RAP trash you have now is an insult to the sport.

Notwithstanding the fact the decision makers won't see this, I do agree strongly.

Just before the season started, someone from Sky Sports markerting team (presumably proudly) made the mistake of posting the new title sequence to Twitter. They were absolutely pilloried; responses were about 90% hating it (and there were thousands!). Of course by then it's all too late; contracts are signed, graphic designers have done the new title video, etc. We're stuck with it. I never hear the audio of adverts; all advert breaks are fully muted here, so it's a question of local mitigation. When you consider that over the years we've gone from "The Chain" through various other themes and somehow ended up with this, it's a very sad state of affairs. Even the ITV Jamiroquai theme was better!

Personally, I think I've disliked all the various F1 themes that have been used.

Mainly because The Chain was such an iconic F1 theme song that for me personally no other song will be able to live up to the same emotions when used for F1.
