I hope that Channel 4’s last hurrah will stick to “The Chain”.

i can predict how this will play out.
*f1 releases non-offensive, middle of the road dramatic orchestral giant jingle* the tenths old guard: i don’t like it, they didn’t have it in jim clark’s day. the fence sitters: ok twitter: *pitchforks, mob rule, fire and looting, endless retweets of video of bbc intro using “the chain”* |

It will be a cover version of something, if there borrowed from 3M 'new' logo was anything to go by!

Surely the new theme would have to be gender neutral, and it should also appeal to the "wider" community. It would have to be produced in a new age "green technology" recording studio, with the lowest carbon footprint as possible, and is environmentally friendly everytime it is played on air.
They'll produce two themes, and the FiA will choose the one that is mostly complete - even though it's not the best - because the FiA had set a deadline for the new F1 theme to be introduced. |

I agree with bella in that it’s unlikely that it will be accepted (I particularly like the Jim Clark bit).
As to who they selected, he seems to have a significant resume and the examples provided potential point to why he was selected. Those are high energy/fast paced movies (some auto related) that predominantly are targeted at a younger generation. Just like the logo... it’s something on the checklist for a new marketing team to do, but will likely have little impact on the sport. I still miss the guitar riff theme that used to open up the world feed back in the day. Richard |

Hans Zimmer did Days of Thunder, Pearl Harbor, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Batman the Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar and Dunkirk.
John Williams did Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park and Harry Potter. |

As Hans Zimmer composed the music for 'Days of Thunder' and 'Rush', he's the obvious choice.

Not to mention Gladiator.
But Star Wars had a pod race. |

I think that I've had a great idea. Why not use the guitar riff from Fleetwood Mac's record The Chain? I believe that it would fit right in, and would evoke the true spirit of F1 racing and might be popular with old and new viewers.
What do you think? Would it be possible, even? |

The Chain is the TV company's signature tune, not the F1 signature tune. As you know the five minute board is usually accompanied by the mock engine sound and the multi coloured curvy thing.
So all I can say, as someone sneeringly considers me "old guard", is that it matters not one jot. It's just one more example of someone dicking around for the sake of dicking around. Until they get back to proper cars with proper engines and gearboxes etc. this will always be a poor relation to real racing. |

i imagine its the same everywhere, but having a theme song is a pretty important thing for N.American sports broadcasts so i can understand why Liberty want one. if done right it can become a pretty special thing....although as Richard said, its just one box to check off for the marketing dept. Monday Night Football on ABC, NBA on TNT (or NBA on NBC in the past), March Madness on CBS, all time fav though is the Hockey Night in Canada music (which has been caught up in licensing hell between two competing broadcasters). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByKu8BwT5K4 |

I guess its length is precisely timed to match an F1 race "highlights" video. They're optimistic hoping they can find that much from a current-generation F1 race!
