BBC F1 Intro Theme 2009 (Official)

[stryfe420]

Fleetwood Mac's best song out of many great songs. You really can't go wrong using this track in your intro

[maurisheva7]

I'm in love with this riff.

@001benly Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

[CamaroKidGP]

All I can say is this is awesome and I'm glad I can play that on bass

[flmks]

This is one bad ass intro! Probably the best in televised sport.

[carstarsteven]

Makes my heart beat faster every single time!!!

[saucy05]

When i heard "otherside" by RHCP i thought f1 used it as the theme song, but i guess fleetwood was the original band that came up with it. If you listen to around 3:55 of the "otherside", they have the same guitar sound just different speed.

[05Rudey]

We just need Murray Walker just to say "Go...Go...Go" at the start of every race.

[mclarenguy22]

I hope, in 2012-2018, BBC keep this theme. New F1 deal does NOT bother me, although I'm not a Sky Sports customer.

[Kiasko]

@mclarenguy22 As long as the replays on BBC are full replays and not highlights, i'll be fine.

[multimaxstudios]

@Kiasko They won't be full replays, but extended highlights. In other words, we'll be getting between 1 hour - 1 hour and a half of race coverage dependant on how exciting the race is (with of course the F1 panel discussing it).

[samreynolds123]

jizz my pants when this tune comes on

[reddevil0406]

@thedancer911

It is, in fact, "the chain" by fleetwood mac. But, the bit used for the theme comes towards the end of the song. Listen to the whole thing and you'll know :)

[reddevil0406]

@Thedancer911

It is, in fact, "the chain" by Fleetwood Mac but this bit of the music starts near the end of the song..listen to the whole thing and you'll know

[11halladay]

Respond to this video... lewis all the way

[SimoWill75]

@11halladay you mean Lewis "Ram-'em-off-the-track" Hamilton?

Dude is a bigger douche than Schumi was.

[boyofbears]

@SimoWill75 you an alonso fan then?

[SimoWill75]

@boyofbears

Hell No!

[boyofbears]

@SimoWill75 good man

[11halladay]

Respond to this video... lewis all the way

[vinsong]

so I'm the only one who still prefers ITVs Lift Me Up by moby.

[thedancer911]

does anyone know, if there is an actual band who plays this song, or is it made just for F1 ?

[Combaticon]

@thedancer911 Fleetwood Mac plays this song.

[thedancer911]

@Combaticon i listened to the fleetwood mack song, if it is "the chain".....well, .... they have as much in common as vettel and hamilton...but thanks for the response.

[LongSchlong9000]

This is infinitely better than what NASCAR Central, I mean SPEED, uses.

[zzPegLegzz]

i can play that actual riff on the bass :)

[sloanienz]

It's clear the guys who made this intro went on to work for HRT - the car is still being built seconds before the race begins.

[Elarius84]

I never get bored of this intro, hope the BBC keeps it for years to come.

[Icabob11]

Coolest theme tune in the world! Even though, fleetwood mac are always the masters!



[lukecolli]

Can u buy this on iTunes ? But without singing ?

[deaconda2000]

The Chain always gets me psyched to watch a race! Love it!

[100khuli]

the actuall chain has singing in it

[TheMrHench]

worlds best theme tune

[sunflower7202]

[wittmann]

@sunflower7202 Fleetwood mac the chain

[hairesonyourchest]

@sunflower7202 The Chain - Fleetwood Mac

[samg40912]

[JohnLennon4King]

[allypallyox]

[oXSoulSilverXo]

Cant wait until the 11th of March :)

[chrismanus]

@oXSoulSilverXo not the 11th of march anymore :(

[oXSoulSilverXo]

@chrismanus I know :/ can't wait for the 25th of march now :)

[TheJool999]

my video is much better quality

[TheJool999]

love this

[hitc5678]

im just waiting for that intro to come on tv for the start of the 2011 season :D

[JthemasterT]

OMFG THEY GOT THE STIG TO STAR!!!!11one1

[goodyearguy1]

does anyone know what this song is called?

[llpalm08]

@goodyearguy1 The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, its at the end of the song.

[fcukablejimbo]

i could cry last race off season makes me sad!

[hungryherbie]

@fcukablejimbo yes I agree well at least we have a new surprise champion in

Sebastian Vettel he looks like the new Michael Schumacher which means he has to win another six titles which is a tall order

[piranhaman999]

Still doesnt quite capture the true sound of an F1 engine in real life though. :-(

[LaurenLovesTimmyTime]

i love the start bit.

[theCookiemonster091]

It sounds class with the sound of the engines in it.

[guydvd]

Fleetwood mac - The Chain

[guydvd]

Fleetwood mac

[SaMzTaR09]

What song is this

[LaurenLovesTimmyTime]

i love this! i play this on my guitar.

[Rascasseman]

This intro is actually really boring now. Why can;t they make a new one, with actual footage of the greats at what they did best, like the old BBC F1 intro? This looks like it should be a Playstation game.

[RedhotIta1]

After 16 Years The Chain return to F1 :D Remember old times of champion like Villeneuve

[ToroRosso20]

Sweet Intro.

F1 got to love it.

[Crush40thebest]

jenson button where ever you are add me as a friend!i am your biggest fan!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hungryherbie]

@Crush40thebest You might be his biggest fan but that's where it ends .wakie wakie welcome to the real world and what planet did you arrive from !!!

[Acer430]

Too much CGI...more real life action please! 1992 intro was the best...can't find it now though.

[everymatt]

..and thank god they didn't go for an awful "let's make it funky for the kids" remix.

[TomGreenUK]

THE CHAIN.

[romeo56]

If i ever miss the intro on TV before the Grand Prix i have to come on here to watch it.

[mikeXdeakin]

the only thing i REALLY dont like about the bbc's coverage is that theres no james allen :(

thumbs up if you miss james allen?

[hungryherbie]

@mikeXdeakin The only person I miss now from F1 and was the only voice of F1 as far as I'm concerned was Murray Walker what a legend .. James Allen and

Jonathan Legard these guys shouldn't be giving a microphone....

[mikeXdeakin]

@hungryherbie ye fair enough murray was a legend, but james allen was so much better than jonathan legard

[hungryherbie]

@mikeXdeakin well okay at least James Allen got excited doing the commentary were as Jonathan Legard would be better suited doing commentary on bowls I shouldn't be so hard on him I suppose Murray Walker was unique and a hard act to follow for anyone so to answer your question yes James Allen would be a lot better

[maurizio864]

i love this intro

[CODMWFAN91]

I love F1, but theres a lot of problems with it at the moment.

One of those problems is Eddie Jordan. Hes waaaay too opinionated and seems to think he knows everything about F1 when hes NEVER actually driven an F1 car! The other problem is Jonathan Legard. Hes constantly messing up during commentary. His phrases are most annoying. "Oh here he comes" and "Hes first (when theres only one car on track!). A lot of the things are soo basic and he never picks them up, such as when theres replays 

[hungryherbie]

@CODMWFAN91 Nonsense Eddie Jordan managed a F1 team for many years so he knows what he's talking about and he's very good ..just because he didn't drive F1 cars competitively ..thats like saying Alex Fergusan or Arsene Wenger know nothing about football because they weren't good as players.which is rubbish...so Eddie does know all about F1 and his opinion is excellent

[EvanThaBoer]

@hungryherbie Arsene Wenger played professionally in france for a couple of years, but you are totally right

[EddieTLawson]

@hungryherbie

tbh i don't know if this comment still would stand, it's like he's out of touch. he's constantly being corrected.

[hungryherbie]

@EddieTLawson come on eddie be fair EJ is no way out of touch it's the complete opposite the man knows F1

inside out ,he's never been away from the sport so your argument doesn't stand up I'm afraid

[EddieTLawson]

@hungryherbie do you not remember in Canada where he went off on one about how drivers should be staying off the red and white strips because they were slippery? Coulthard corrected him saying they actually weren't at all. and fair do's. in his day, they were usually painted with vinyl. but not now. a perfect example of how he's out of touch.

[hungryherbie]

@EddieTLawson Eddie your nitpicking anybody could have made that mistake ...I think he's a great pundit to have on F1 he can give you inside knowledge on management and all the drivers and fans love him too ,without him the show would be very boring and it was great the BBC got him

[EddieTLawson]

@hungryherbie

I may well be nitpicking, but it seems a lot of people are making him out to be the omniscient voice of Formula 1.

[hungryherbie]

@EddieTLawson at the end of the day EJ is entertaining without him who do we have DC a good x driver but very boring and the same with MB who by the way will never be a Murray Walker that's the man I miss most'''cheers Eddie T ....herbie

[EddieTLawson]

@hungryherbie man i proper miss murray walker.

[vandewebcast]

I have to do this for school coursework!!

[hungryherbie]

I believe Red Bull gives you wings ..well it did to-day ask Mark Webber

[pictureperfectman]

@hungryherbie lol

[APenguinHippo]

doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom doom dooooommmm lol

[Jb33124]

THESTIG!!!!



[makeHP]

sick video

[RetFirst]

music 1982 USA GP Las Vegas intro

[MrJigsey]

does anyone know the name of the song they used last year for when they showed the drivers and constructors tables? been tryin to find this for like a year now. cheers

[jotarsky]

Moby - lift me up

[MrJigsey]

@jotarsky Nah thts the itv one, im on bowt the bbc music last year. it was like a clubby tune

[aninoritse03]

I have loved this song ever since my mum used to rave about it and believe me i was most excited to hear it was back..Awesome Bassline...

Play at Maximum Volume..

[welsharcher]

Just brillient come on bring it back

[RossiLCFC1993]

bbc rules and so do jenson button and lewis hamilton

[hungryherbie]

@RossiLCFC1993 Button & Hamilton are one hit wonders so you can't say they rule if anybody rules as you put it how about the man with 7 world titles yes its Michael Schumacher ...but I agree with you about The BBC

[RossiLCFC1993]

BBC is the best itv is a load of shit

[hungryherbie]

Love this tune The Chain its the best thing about F1 ..what about Button got the jump on Hamilton winning two already ..poor ould Lewis must be as sick as a parrot

being the blue eyed boy ....still think Alonso will win the 2010 title

[mynock05]

@hungryherbie if he can stay in the top 5 in finishes and hold the rest of his engines together better hes got a good shot

[SweetProductionsEnt]

This lil tune is awesome :D

[tvcrunkfool]

this track is as important to formula 1 as pit stops

[beenblondeandhatedit]

I wonder how much Fleetwood Mac get payed every time this is played on F1?? Lol

[TomBoiW00t0930]

this theme tune is bout the only thing they havent fucked up. f1 is not wot it used to be. its no way near as exciting anymore. from the 2008 season back to the 1990s was then this sport was amazing. crashes, action, unpredictable outcomes, proper decent overtaking, and proper rivalry. now theres a stupid re-fueling ban which takes proper team strategies out of it which made it exciting, hardly any action, hardly any decent overtakes and evryone finishes the race pretty much where they started.

[3dward838]

@TomBoiW00t0930 Did you see the Sidney GP? Eat your words mate.

[TehNoobWhoPlaysHalo]

You cant say Melbourne was far from real F1.

[mynock05]

@TomBoiW00t0930 perhapse if you werent blind youd enjoy it more, considering this seasons been pretty damn exciting so far. vettle yelling on the radio "loss of power loss of power" with the two ferraris behind was the greatest thing that could have happened in bahrain

[sarrieprop]

ombg at the start with the driver walking towards u i swear that its THE STIG

[hungryherbie]

@Ashitaka255...its Fleetwood Mac and The Chain

and my prediction for this season is Ferrari will dominate and Alonso will leave everybody in his mirrors ..they you are no sitting on the fence here

[Lukedfrt2]

@hungryherbie Your Correct =]

[AWMJoeyjoejoe]

@hungryherbie Yeah I agree. Alonso will no doubt be the 2010 champion.

[Ashitaka255]

whats the song?

[killkidnumber2]

@Ashitaka255 the chain - fleetwood mac

[mikejons95]

is 2010's intro the same or different?

[userwl2850]

i wish murry walker was still commenting. starts next weekend. 1-2-3= hamilton-button-shumacher in that order. gentlemen, place your bets.

[Rabbibunny]

@userwl2850 Nah, although I may be British; Alonso, Hamilton, Massa or Button :)

[wlodekmik]

Vettel, Hamilton, Kubica. A little patriotic, but what the hell. Greatings from Poland.

[elchewbs1987]

if they don't keep the chain next season,I'll destroy who ever was responsible for it myself

amazing intro

[ColonelCossack]

Just finished watching the recorded fatal F1 accidents and I gotta say, this intro really cheers ya up.

[tjbayliss]

Man I can't watch any of those old-crash videos anymore - after I saw the most gross one ever

When the steward runs across the track and is literally shredded - and kills the driver of the car by hitting him in the head with the fire extinguisher.

Gotta be the most graphic thing i've ever seen in my life.

[ColonelCossack]

@tjbayliss Yeah that was really screwed up. And the surviving steward and driver just don't seem to give a shit

[tjbayliss]

I think it happened so fast they didn't realise what had just happened.

Even if they did - screaming and running around putting their hands on their heads wasn't gonna bring him back.

Feel very sorry for the guys family - horrific way to go.

[TREWITHEN]

@tjbayliss wht video is that mate??

[AlexOoiue]

i dont think this is as good coz it doesnt show the british drivers :(

[hungryherbie]

@AlexOoiou...well Alex as I said before the main

man in F1 this season will be Mister Michael

Schumacher ..and you don't like the theme because it doesn't show British Drivers...what

rubbish NO F1 Drivers were shown right!! so get over it Alex and start to enjoy Michael on the top step again

[AlexOoiue]

Michael schumi didnt come into 2009 :P, and he maybe good in 2010, but that doesnt mean he's the best, so you get over the fact that Michael's time to win championships is over

you accept it, and you dont like british drivers? screw you

[hungryherbie]

@AlexOoiue...My god Alex you are a bit touchy I

get the impression your not a Michael Schumacher fan afer all he only won 7 world titles

and 91 wins i'm sure you must be sick of him !!

so i'm afraid he's back to put a bit of spice back

into F1 and maybe it could be 8 titles & 100wins!!!

[hungryherbie]

Watch the main man this season yes Mister

Michael Schumacher is back and all the other

drivers are getting their excuses ready ...can't wait

[Siboba9]

i reckon the 2008 theme tune was the best, the lift me up one? it was ace

[gnarkillkicksass]

I'd rather if they used real footage like the old days but still its great to see this old fleetwood mac classic taking its place in f1 again!

[yoshi2560]

Your absolutely right its great to see the chain back in its rightful place.

[drdecioabreu]

sampled by SWAY up your speed

[LennieBennett]

Fell out of love with F1 for a bit during Schumacher winning all the time and ITV doing a poor job of it, but this theme tune and the good coverage on the Beeb, (Especially Ediie Jordan and DC nearly coming to blows all the time!), has made it enjoyable again

[QPRFC31]

Sure this question has been asked a few times, what is the name of this tuuuuuuuuune please ?

[nortsoldier]

its a bit of fleetwood mac the chain

[QPRFC31]

Thank you :)

[nonchan06]

ITV's intros are the much better.

[TransportManor]

bbc made F1 that tiny bit better!

[shaunofthebed]

does any1 know wat the song is called that plays on the bbc broadcasts before the actual race and formation lap starts, showin all the drivers standings and positons for the race

its bout 7 seconds long, its when there are loads of lights flashing round the screen and then it says F1

any ideas?

[vichieous]

FLEETWOOD MAC - The Chain (1977)

minute 3:45

[breffni]

There's no specific name for it, I believe it's just an instrumental done for the FIA F1 logo. All broadcasts get the same logo five minutes before the race is due to start.

[tuned2008]

lift me up, lift me up, higher now ama!

[HCDrulz0001]

If the Video game from codemasters hasn't got this there will be no justice...

[coolierlz]

IS this

[yoshi2560]

the chain by fleetwood mac! awesome song!

[coolierlz]

WAT SONG!

[neovologitec]

"some say he can be seen in the beginning of the bbc f1 intro of 2009"

[DriftK13]

GENIUS LMFAO

[slumplekin]

isnt it funny that the person at the start of the video actually looks like jenson button??? bernie up to his tricks nudge nudge brazil 2007 hamilton's mysterious gear box failure?

[GrandPrix55]

Pity they spoiled it with the sparky crackling at the start.

[realitylicker]

Wheres the, 'and it's GO GO GO' by Murray Walker. Grats to button.

[mifflfc]

song

[mifflfc]

whats the sond called?

[Ifuckingh8you]

The Chain, by Fleetwood Mac

[RogueBrit]

Its fleetwood mac the rest of the song is shite its like the chorus bit

[yoshi2560]

Whats up with you that's a great song. People these days.

[olivermcummins]

Best F1 theme by a long way ..congratulations

to Jenson Button one of the good guys in F1 and

put Hamilton in his place down the table after saying that I was hoping Barrichello would win it

but it wasn't his year again

[SplinterOwnz]

dam next week on november the 1st its the last race and then a long wait till F1 2010

[DalekSam]

Don't worry; Codemasters will bring something to the Wii and the PSP, hopefully in time (before 2010), to tide you over!

[lewiisthebest10]

november 20th f1 09.

[DalekSam]

:D

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaay~

[tuned2008]

what console's is it on?

[adrianhe82]

Wii and PSP, gotta wait till next year for the high-res xbox and ps3 versions

[tempahbad]

i love watching F1 lucky kimi didnt get killed with that fuel hose

[Whhyyyy]

You guys dont love F1. You just love to see Brittish drivers win the WC. I always watch F1 on BBC and I'm a great fan of Hamilton. But It annoys me that everytime they talk about Lewis or Jenson they talk like they are fucking them. They are not objective. And that disappoints me..

Barrichello for World Champion!!!

[scoobyonline2000]

I love the intro... well the music at least... but I think it would have looked more amazing if they used real footage... but then again.. that would cost a hell of a lot of doe.

[amg6969]

Piquet purposely spinning @ 0:28

[nortsoldier]

hahaha nice :D

[paldesic2009]

Sweet!

[secretbadger2]

gr8 theme and jb (jenston button) should win f1 go brawn with button

[nortsoldier]

itv n bbc intros r both just as gd tbh...

[KNS1996DFS]

Thoroughly sick.

[CHEEZY25]

Dont you just love F1 Jenson to win championship

[lezzelb]

The itv version with moby is far better! Although enjoying have no adverts throughout the race - fab!!

Go Alonso!!!

[gc7820]

what are you taking? You should be locked up!

[secretbadger2]

its button who should win

[Toon89obamartins]

this is how f1 is ment to sound it should of never left the beeb like wise match of the day

[dmsa12345]

this is awsome

[ErinRoseCullen]

Omg i just love F1 and to choose this part of The Chain for the intro is just amazing!!!!!! :D
