@tommo912 get this right, 2004 came in between 2003 and 2005...are you actually serious? do you ever see grave stones and think 'why does it say 1923-2002' ?
This was the best intro for F1 however i do like the current one. I am glad that F1 is back on the BBC though because there are no adverts but i do like the ITV intros better as they changed them every 3 years, whereas now its back on the BBC its going to be the same forever because if they replace "The Chain" lots of people will moan.
This was so AWESOME. MUCH better theme than the current theme. And I agree with Kersh!!! Hair stood on my neck when this came on, ready for qualifying or the race!!
i actually like this music, sounds like 'aint seen nothin yet'! All the other ITV intros after this were cack. At least we have 'the chain' back again!
itv just got worse and worse. they used to have a good coverage team with jim rosenthal, tony jardine and that but in the end we had to put up with steve rider and james alan who i now more about f1 than
Reminds me when I used to watch F1 but i was too young to understand wtf was going on. I always routed for Raikonnen as the underdog taking on Schuie and Ferrari.
Agreed, ITV's intro's got worse as time went on. The current one they used was by far the worse. This wasn't so bad. The one before was quite good and the JK one was the best.
But all pale in comparison against the BBC intro's with The Chain! :D
The only people I've known who say that ITV is better are those who are too young to remember BBC and started watching after ITV took over.
Pretty much everyone else I know who watched F1 back when BBC had it said that the BBC intro's were superior to anything ITV managed. The JK one during 97-00 was as good as it got for ITV.
By far the best itv has produced, certainly better than the one at the mo, it was due to be changed anyway, seeing as the two themes previous lasted for three years each, maybe the bbc will do a better job.
this was the best F1 introduction ever made by ITV imo. The switch to the BBC next year is good in terms of no adverts.....but i don't think the graphics on the introduction will be up to the levels that the ITV ones did reach!
but u have the bbc to contend with and they loe puting yellow bbc boxes everywre and atempting to look good by doing everything in house, so u shall c some of the shcoking bits of the motogp pre race coverage... but no adverts shall be so good(Y)
they wud never be able to put adverts in they wouldnt gt away withit as well as wanting a tv lisance they shall just cut everyhtung that good bou the bbc and just put more repats on for bad shows
I thought that the BBC was one of the only broadcasters in the UK that are actually making money, apart from Channel 4 I think it is that are also doing quite well. This is partly (for the BBC) due to the fact they have a "guaranteed" future as it were with the TV Liscence bringing in money.
Can't wait until next year though, no adverts and the possibility that it will be in HD on BBC HD.
All I can say is they should have Steve Rider and Martin Brundle, and James Allen. Yes, he is annoying, but he's better than the moto gp commentaters, and if you've ever watched GP2, then you'll see why I'm defending him.
To be honest, I think the BBC should offer all the people who present F1 for ITV a job, but mind you, that probably isn't going to happen.
I miss the Schumacher days!!!! First race of the season in Australia, up at god knows what time waiting for that tune to start up. BRING SCUHMACHER BACK!!!!
Rome wasn't built in a day. Even when Schumi jumped shipped to ferrari, it took him a couple of years to churn out a good car and get the team upto brawn levels of efficiency.
(the 1997 Ferrari was not great nor was the 1998 one compared to Mclaren).
OMG i 100% agree. It is the "Lewis Hammilton Show" on ITV. Drives me mad. What happened to the other 21 drivers??? I tried to count how many times they said Lewis in a programme but after 30 mins it was more than 1 a minute. Lewis Hammilton Tourettes is what they have!!!
Because Rider is so far up Hamilton's arse its nauseating. Plus he fucked off to do the World Cup in his first year. Even Rosenthal (also crap, but funny) didn't miss a race until his final season.
