He clearly lives and breathes what he does, and fully immerses himself in his work. But [with F1], I was already there. The emotion of what happened needed more.

I am even surprised by my own reaction. However, it is only synonymous with F1 in this country the UK.
In every single territory, there is a different piece of music used. Formula One is global, and the idea behind this new theme is to give the series a unified sound, wherever you are in the world, just as football did with the UEFA Champions League music.
The Chain Lyrics
Our phone call is one he has made time for while working extremely late nights mixing the final edit. He is humble, and I get the sense he is honoured by the prospect of following in the footsteps of Fleetwood Mac. As it becomes part of F1, [fans] can hear this music is at the heart and spirit of F1 because it was born and written out of a love [for the sport].
The music itself was recorded in the UK, in an old cathedral — Air Studios — where the acoustics where perfected by the great Sir George Martin, who of course is recognised for his work with The Beatles. Different eras of F1 cars. The history of F1 engines and not use them as sound effects but incorporate them into the music. The voice of God!
The looks on their faces were different to how we imagined.

The reaction was so rare that even the orchestra cheered. It was an overwhelming time for me. Brian, whilst drinking more tea and spending hours and hours poring over his musical scores, had a signed Lewis Hamilton hat with him at the time. Or, er, suffered some transmission issues. F1 has always been fixated with its own sound, from the roar of the engine to the squeal of a tyre lockup and, even in the hybrid era, noise is irrevocably intertwined with the way we think about the sport.
But you might be surprised just how close some drivers have got to actually making music themselves and becoming rock stars, not just acting like them Canadian driver Jacques Villeneuve 's achievements on track include a win at the Indy before he changed to Formula One and won the championship.
He continued racing until , when he competed in two rounds of the relatively-newly-formed Formula E. Villeneuve's Private Paradise album was launched with a performance at his own coffee shop in Quebec, to an audience mostly made up of journalists. And, who knows, perhaps there's now a space in the market for Villeneuve to sing his latest theories about Williams's driver decisions in a touching soft-rock format. Daniel Ricciardo is one of most famous drivers in F1 today - a multiple Grand Prix winner known as a smiling, friendly bloke who nonetheless drives faster than almost anyone else.
The Australian is passionate about music, maintaining his own Spotify channel and it suggests he's particularly keen on rock, hardcore and emo. And there's something extremely endearing about anyone who, like a teenager with an untouched rucksack, started the season by scrawling, "There's blood in the water" - a Parkway Drive lyric from song Boneyards - across the back of his helmet.
But it's not just him - New Zealander Brendon Hartley, who has recently joined the Formula 1 grid, describes himself as a keen guitarist and picked a Silverchair track, Tomorrow, for his team's garage playlist ahead of the championship-opening Australian Grand Prix. Ricciardo and Hartley knew each other as junior drivers so maybe there's a boyband opportunity if the racing doesn't go well this season. Friends with plenty of popstars, from Rihanna to Bieber, Lewis Hamilton has been quite circumspect about releasing the music he's talked about writing.
That's maybe a wise move, given Villeneuve's success, but Lewis is still clearly moved and motivated by music and, before a silencing of his social media channels he's recently returned , he routinely recommended tracks to his fans. Rita Ora once Instagrammed him playing piano while she sang and Hamilton has said he takes a guitar with him everywhere. Like Ricciardo, he's had lyrics on the back of his helmet for some time. Passionately political - "There's barely any diversity in F1," he wrote on Instagram ahead of the Austrialian Grand Prix last month, before deleting the post - it's perhaps unsurprising that Hamilton looks to 2Pac for inspiration, having "Still I rise" printed across the back of his head protection.
Ayrton Senna is one of Formula 1's most beloved and iconic racers - a three-time world champion before his tragic death at the Italian Grand Prix in In the minds of many, there is no question that Senna was, well, simply the best.
