[9999faill]

[tonitoniangri]

このアーティストだれ？？カッコイイぞ！！

[stealthysmirth]

Jake Humphrey makes it sound like the path to your inner soul.

[Razor110789]

Can't wait for the season to start!!!

[diggerydooboy]

There's nothing like having that at full blast coming out of your TV at 6am in the morning! The ultimate alarm clock!

[SearchRodge]

thats the 1st song ?

[mightychozza]

i had chills going down my spine when i heard this in the wee hours of the morning on saturday back in march 09 waiting for qualy to start, classic stuff!

[bartek1042]

Whats the songs name from 1:02 ?

[homerbialy]

@bartek1042 Fleetwood Mac's The Chain

[LoyalRoyal1992]

@bartek1042 the chain- by fleetwood mac

[nsriv225]

What's the song playing as the narrator speaks?

[ECT100]

Jake Humphrey Legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Atricz]

boring as hell

[TREWITHEN]

Jonathan legard is soo annoying. He never let's Martin brundle talk.

[weatherallc05]

can i remind you that schumacher did not mean to collide into damon hill!!

[TomBoiW00t0930]

this theme tune is probably the only thing they havent fucked up with. evrythin else like the no fueling rule and all these new regulations have made the sport alot more boring. the 2008 season all the way bk to the 1990s was when f1 was amazing, crashes at evry bend, rivalry nd proper overtaking. now everyone finishes the race pretty much where they start, no action nd hardly any decent over taking

[wolvespat]

@TomBoiW00t0930 lol, are you suggesting the BBC have anything to do with the rules?

[RingSight91]

@TomBoiW00t0930 If you're going to idealize "the 1990s" then you have no room to complain about the No Refueling Rule. That was the norm up to 1993. Clearly you've been spoiled by the post-1994 Tech Era. Before that was even better. Like, Honda intro'd the VTEC in '88, when all cars were only 1.5-liter turbo engines like grenades waiting to go off. No ABS or Traction Controls. Slick Tyres only unless it rained, no "Intermediates". Spins galore!

2002 to 2008 was boring in comparison.

[Reorte]

@RingSight91: Funny you should say that, 2002 is round about where I gave up watching F1.

[shootforhoops]

I wish i could have seen the Abu Dhabi gp on bbc, but i had to watch it on la sexta instead. Juast nowhere near as good. Loved the coverage last year, i hope it's as good this year. If i get to see it.

check out my F1 blog, "double waved yellows" it has plenty of news and videos. the link is on my video page.

[poorpilot00]

This was so great that i became overwhelmed.

[coolerdude44]

bbc was amazing this year, it's gonna be interesting to see how they attempt to top themselves

[tjbayliss]

Yeah i'm so glad they got it away from ITV

ITV are so utterly bollocks, and half of the race is adverts.

If ITV ever gets F1 back i'll stop watching.

BBC owned this year, but they need to get Coulthard or someone else to commentate.

Should be Coulthard + Brundle

Whats-his-name is as much of an annoying kid as James Allen.

[poorpilot00]

Jonathan Legard is extremely good and its a great line up at the bbc. What a year in 2009, roll on 2010 and Jenson.

[jimmyass]

antartica to hold a race anyone?

[CBTrekker]

The Chain, easily the best driving song ever. i want to know who the genius was to used the bass line for F1 all those years ago.

[Experiment47]

The Chain; the best bass line I've ever heard.

[rayhanc8]

jake humphjrey is such a good host, bbc coverage is the best better than ITV which had adverts every 2 seconds

so much extra features made it that much more enjoyable

[Speedworx]

Anyone posted the footage from the end of the F1 forum and the season review show?

[RogueBrit]

Epic season 2009 the best ever

[Brezo18]

Epic

[bryphillips]

what is the song in the last part?? anyone

[Bloodybob8]

yo the song is called 'the chain' its sung by FLEETWOOD MAC

[holli8884]

massa is recovering really well and he has been in a test car so hopefully by the start of nxt season, he should be racing!!!!

Cant w8, at least it gives all the other drivers a little more competition!

[sarrieprop]

who is the man at the start of the intros i reckon weither its either Schumacher or Coulthard not sure and want to know

[mine929]

same here, but then i was like, wait the STIG is a F1 driver? now it all makes sense

[5im2]

I thought it was Jenson Button, u no with the messed up hair n all, also does ny 1 no what track is on 0:45 with the steep hill then corner?

[mine929]

i think that might be the track in brazil

[ZedderZulu]

I think if its the bit where all the cars are chasing up it then its at Spa - the famous Eau Rouge :)

One the subject of the guy at the beginning - I always think its Jenson too.

[LordAntWarrior]

oh yes now that corner is legendary! So many crashes there especially in 99 thanks to DC

[Rascasseman]

It neither of Schumacher, Coulthard or Button! He is Jake Humphrey, presenter of the BBC's f1 coverage!

[KillerhunterTom1995]

Id thought at start of season jake humphrey would be crap, But hes Funny as shit when he does the gym training and car testing

[MrDjQuicksilva]

The Man Commentatin' is none Other Than Jake Humphrey

[Harvey142009]

who is commentatin the part from the start up to the teams the cars and the drivers are ready

[xXJogaBonitoXx]

few lovely shots of Melbourne in this intro... i personally live in Melbourne and never thought it looks that beautiful... f**king proud to live in Melbourne now! LOL! been going to every single F1 race since 4 years ago... love every second of them... thank god it didn't leave good old Melbourne

[DarthCipient]

Incredible season so far. Teams threatening to leave, Brawn emerging, Button starting to slip? Red Bulls starting to get closer, Massa (thankfully) seems OK after a hideous injury, and now.....Schumacher is back. Amazing.

[Harvey142009]

even im from the USA this is the best F1 theme song/ intro yet!!!

[Harvey142009]

oh yes im ready!!! for the german grand prix

[Harvey142009]

who is this man who said "Are you?"

[ooooomz]

Jake Humphrey :)

[Harvey142009]

im just curious, but why does jake make u happy? :) thx

[rko123jja]

0:51 the stig : )

[Cimby444]

0:40 1998 spa mass catastrophe.... it was a good show XD

[19ferrari47]

This is a fantastic intro

[cpfc543]

Love it

[Misisipy]

Very good intro! And I love F1:)

[shelleyslater]

F1 is back where it belongs.............the BBC has been exceptional so far this season................bloody briliant!!!!!

[EmphaticItalic]

Stunning.

[poorpilot00]

f1 at its greatest

[WilVincent88]

Oh my good god.... F1 back on the BBC.....

You know, with Sky TV taking over everything, and ITV seeming to want as much sport as possible, I never thought this day would come. eastenders fans around the UK must be ssooooooooo pissed off.....

Formula One, Welcome Home Baby

[aussiepassion]

Oh, nice! I wish we got to see it. Ours is crap.

[shiki5876]

F1 back where it belongs. Exceptional.

[wizkid01]

the music, the video footage everything about it... very fitting for the return home of formula 1 back on the bbc where it belongs!!!! i remember when first watching this intro on tv - made the hair stand on back of my neck, thought to myself... thank f**k for that! back on the bbc - where it belongs, bye bye itv!!!

[poorpilot00]

This is so good, thanks BBC. Adrenaline is the way to describe this intro.

[palmerXcore]

The actual song is fleetwood mac = the chain ! one of the best songs in the world !

hope this helps

[bags1234567890]

is the driver's shadow at the start of the opening titles fernando alonso? looks like him

[logom0]

looks like jenson button

[Jawz2308]

i didn't know the stig was moonlighting

[morganroate]

haha thats wat I thought

[Rascasseman]

This video encapsulates what f1 is all about. Awesome first intro by the BBC. It make you feel the proper passion for f1 with the opening classical piece and thankfully they didn't use stupid rock/dance music to totally downgrade f1.

[robinellis32]

everything about this clip i love especially the first music played making it dramatic which F1 is on the BBC :D

[dmc1200]

They never used to play the intro for qualifying, I seem to remember it was part of Saturday Grandstand.

[Dirksen89]

It's perfect!

[bluewomble88]

Does anyone know the music before the Chain? It's beautiful

[theviker]

its the chain,, same song, bit before

[bluewomble88]

It isn't the Chain. I'm talking about the classical violin part beforehand, it's 100% not the Chain. Sounds a bit like Hilary Hahn.

[theviker]

sorry I thought you ment the bit just before the chain kicks in, you mean the bit with the promo teaser

[qczhao]

i want to know too :(

[MT89Motorsports]

The Song is called "Opening" from the Elizabeth The Golden Age OST

[qczhao]

thank you so much :D

[EvelcyclopS]

"The Song is called "Opening" from the Elizabeth The Golden Age OST "

I really cant tell you how asolutely fucking wrong you are.

Its 'The Chain' By Fleetwood Mac and can be found on their iconic 'Rumours' Album

[MT89Motorsports]

Of course, but that is the second one. people wanted to know the name of the first song ;)

[Rascasseman]

Sorry but what the hell's going on?! The first one is called Opening from the film Elizabeth The Golden Age...

The second one, you're right, is the classic BBC F1 theme tune by Fleetwood Mac called The Chain!

[leorklier]

bbc; formula 1; the chain - all is right with the world

[lprandyb]

Goosebumps!

[poorpilot00]

Perfect.

[Vulle123]

No one does it better than the BBC!

[ayrtonaiko]

Totally agree.

Getting rid of the background sounds and leaving just The Chain would make this pretty much perfect.

[Formula1MotorRacing]

I've noticed that since Australia, the background sounds have been toned down a bit, which is good.

[gypsy25gl]

YEAH!!!!  'The Chain' is back....

[simongatkinson]

Heaven!!! ¦)

[pug205er]

I'm just glad they used "the chain" :D

[gussell411]

its how it should be :-)

[kirkie1210]

they done a good job, but i think i prefered the other verson on youtube, F1 Inspiration.

What you guys reckon?
