It was August, 30th, 1998. I was 7 and sitting in the living room listening to this theme, going to see the most incredible crash in F1 history. It was a cool and rainy ending summer sunday and everything in my life was simple and beautiful. Miss '90s.

Absolutely wonderful F1 intro theme... There is something about the visuals AND the music, which sends a shiver down the spine... Every time I see this, it takes me back to a time when F1 was more exciting... IMO the technology is better now, and the TV coverage is more thorough, but, I prefer this classic intro, when we knew that Murray would be about to start rambling on, as only Murray could do...
If you are here to listen to this, *then we all know* your wife is still upset with you because you used to woke up in the middle of the night to watch a formula 1 grand prix in Suzuka or Melbourne, because *you know* you couldnt miss the excitement of the V10s roaring everytime they passed in front of the pitline, or the adrenaline you had everytime a team managed to change tires and fuel under 6 seconds, the strategy, the danger, the crazy drivers cappable of throwing everything and more to lap down a couple miliseconds... In Rally there was group B... formula 1 technically is still named the same, but *we all know* the period between 1986 and 1999 wont come back, THOSE WERE THE DAYS! God bless the pilots, the teams, and those amazing circuits that are now forgoten... I loved formula 1, this intro means more to me than watching a grand prix this days... but its how it is!
Imagine, you're an F1 fan in Britain, it's 1994 and the BBC opens with Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' The Ultimate F1 music, then before the race you have this to prepare you for Green. Superb. Channel 4's 90's Tour De France music and Ski Sunday's 'Things that dreams are made of' music in the show, race lineup music in programme (The Human League) are iconic anthems that really should be looked at.
I grew up on this intro........ wake up early in the morning just before this played....... then they would usually cut to a helicopter picture of the racetrack....... classic
Best tune EVER Brings back so many precious memories not to mention every time I listen to it (which is alot) it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!
In Malaysia, we always listen to this tune 1930hrs 5minutes before the race start (european track time). Missed the good ol days.. Everything must be ready before the intro song.. Once played, sit down and enjoy the thrill..
Memories!!! The Sunday anthem!! Then it was the next one and now the new one today. Interesting that each intro bring so many good and so many crushing memories.
This reminds me of the days from 1998 onwards when I would sit in front of the television and watch the Benetton team ( my favourite team) with the drivers Alexander Wurz and Giancarlo Fisichella.
Mattia Pravettoni That's true! I was kinda hoping and praying that the Benetton family would return and buy out the struggling Lotus team but I guess Renault got in there first.
@@the.internet Remember when he did some commentary for snooker for a laugh? It was superb! Even if a race was dull Murray could make it seem like the most exciting spectacle in the history of motorsport! I miss the man Walker and those great days.
@@skylined5534 I never saw that, I'll find it on here, sounds brilliant! I was as much into other Motorsport as I was F1 growing up in the 90s and Murray was all over so much of it. I had VHS tapes of Formula 3 with him on it, he did the Touring Cars, I'm sure he did motorcycle racing too at one point?! (But I was never into bikes too much) You're right, so many of the F1 races in the 90s could be dull but his commentary made up for any lack of action. The most enthusiastic man to grace the planet imo. Sorely missed.
GhostsKuriboh This is intro was part of the World Feed which is relayed by all of the world broadcasters. Neither Sky nor Channel 4 has any influence over the FOM intro.
When Formula 1 still was BADASS! 🤧 (v8, v10 and v12 all together in once! 😱 😭) this ROCKING intro perfectly represented that EPICNESS 🤘🏻 RIP F1 INTRO 1994-2002 😢
I was born at 1997 when Jacques Villeneuve secured his 1st & only WDC The entire of my friend from class of 2016 was born in 1998 when Mika Hakkinen got his 1st F1 WDC Maybe they know this intro as well
Simply spectacular, the formula 1 in its purest form, is literally the oldest memory I have of F1, the best presentation in the history of F1, friend you took me some nostalgia tears, thank you!
Ive looked for it but other than this video I can't find anything don't even know what the music is called hahahah. If you find any info let me know though 🙂
I know this intro very well from game F1 Challenge 99-02 mod 1994, 1995 & 1998 Also I know this intro when F1 was broadcasted on Indonesian television channel (RCTI)
When you see/hear this, you automatically start to think of Murray Walker commenating, tobacco sponsorships/car liveries, screaming V10 engines, time when refueling was still a thing and you can even smell that fuel....ah the glorious days of F1, even if the racing might not have been all that exciting back then due to huge difference between cars at front and the rest of the field and that many times created quite boring races. Sadly it also reminds me of Imola 1994 and Senna (ofc Ratzenberger too)...if only things had went differently....Senna likely would have dominated the 90s
Had Senna made it, I don't think we would've had Mika Hakkinen winning two straight championships nor we wouldn't have Michael Schumacher or even Lewis Hamilton winning 7 championships. It's just like what NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt said about Davey Allison after his sudden passing "I don't think I would have won 7 championships (had Davey still be here and driving after 1993.)"
Anni in cui guardare una gara di f1 emozionava davvero,sound dei motori, pit stop di pochi secondi che decidevano gare e campionati e piloti che ormai non se ne vedono di uguale livello..che fortuna abbiamo avuto a godere di questi Gp!
Verissimo, mi riporta alla mente tantissime emozioni, ho cominciato nel 1994 a seguire regolarmente gli sport motoristici. Questa sigla mi scollegava completamente dal mondo circostante e i miei sensi erano presi esclusivamente dalla corsa. Che nostalgia.
I met Murray Walker on one of the buses that took you back to the car parks at the Birmingham NEC. He had a Demon Tweeks carrier bag with him and everything.
Questa era la sigla della federazione internazionale dell'automobile con cui Andrea de Adamich parlava in sottofondo con la musica in sottofondo e lui non stava mai zitto
The era when F1 was still motorshow and not just a show..
rainy race...
official warning signal that an old man is about to shout at us excitedly for around ninety minutes

But all the time of course the old man is very much aware of it, to put it mildly. ;-)
Good old Murray, he needs a knighthood
Jacques Schulz back that time... it was legendary...
yonmallard HE'S GOING FOR IT! ROUND THE OUTSIDE AND HAS TAKEN THE LEAD! OH NO HE'S LOST IT HE'S GOING STRAIGHT FOR THE TIRE WALL!
This, for me, was the final signal to sit down in front of the TV and get ready for the race.
SAME.
Yeahh!! Old days
In what year was this intro used? I think it was totally before i was born. (1995)
@Adam Demeter oh jesusu..really? That Sounds harf. Ofcourse i heard from this accident but didn't know that this intro was used in this year
Mika, Schumacher, Fisichela, Barrichelo, Trulli, Irvine, Coulthard, Frentzen.....😁🔝
It will probably be due to my age, but this is the best F1 theme song ever written!
Am in my twenties and still love this
@@ChuckNorris-vz6lk The double whammy of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain and this sick riffage before a race spoke deeply to my young soul back then.
The chain is better
I started watching F1 in 2015 and this is one of the best tunes
For me, this is the F1 theme--always and forever. Still gives me goosebumps.
F1 in the 1990's/early 2000's... Schumacher, Hakkinen, Irvine, Barrichello, Coulthard, Villeneuve, Hill and V-10 power... fond memories!
You sadly forgot, Senna, Prost, Mansell, even Piquet, Berger and Patrese… and the Ferrari and Honda V12 💪
@@alexandreknapen946 I associate this theme music more with the drivers you mentioned (and the early 1990s) than the late 90s/early 2000s.
didn’t they change it in 1995
Räikkönen and Alonso too, made their debuts in 2001
This is the all-time best F1 intro. Miss this tune so much.
Completely Rock and Roll!

@@Jimmy-lm2eg who

@@Jimmy-lm2eg
Well they must be deaf. Look what you have now.
I reckon for the 1000th F1 race, they should bring this back, just for one.
50 races to go. Singapore was the 950th F1 race
Should be the 3rd Race of the 2019 season I believe!
Bahrain 2019, yes
McLaren Fan 96 no its the 2nd race of 2019
NM19 Or China. It depends on which one will host the 2nd round of the Championship that season.
Woah that nostalgia.
+Empty Box Completely full of feelings.

20 seconds of preparation before Murray starts talking

This was more than an intro, a power injection.
Watch in 240p for more realism
I loved this version. I link it to my 90s childhood nostalgia. Bring it back- it's much more in keeping with motorsport than the tat they use today.

Agreed! And forgetting the snippets of music used for the BTCC and also the world rally programme.
A great reminder of a time when it was totally OK to burn tons of gasoline and tyres and to advertise for cigarettes
Yeap! The good old days.
Do not forget the engine changes every session
you've got to admit that cigarette liveries were the best
Thank God I witnessed this!
A great reminder of prone to fail cars. Even the best car on the grid failed at the last minute.
When you heard this, you knew it was about to get serious

Love it, followed up my an out of focus helicopter shot of the circuit, and then the voice of Murray Walker
Amazing that 20+ years ago this is when the nerves started to kick in before the race - and today I had the same physical reaction.

Still have this tune in my head after all these years.

Great team, the most 1990s-ish of all, it's a shame it did not last long.

BENETTON-PLAYLIFE 💙💙💙
@@Senna-78 Good times!!
Now as of 2022 Benetton is now Alpine with Renault engines
This intro is the one I remember from F1 2001 on my PS2...
For Me, it was Grand Prix 3 on the PC!
When this came on you did the fastest lap to get to the couch.
"right, everyone has to keep quiet now, the f1's on"
I love how the FIA logo is in the shape of a car
Those moments when you know that Ross Brawn and Schumacher were coming up with an extra pit stop strategy to get by the Mclarens...
And of course Murray Walker commentary!
Rest In Peace 19XX - 2002
This intro was last used in 2001, which was Fernando Alonso's first season in formula 1. 22 years later and Fernando is still racing!
Sorry to say this, but you’re wrong!
This intro was used until 2003, when the official logo for the championship was changed!
dear @@JackpotButtonLewis , what's the name of music in this intro? Thx so much
If only Sky F1 would bring this back just before the race
I can't listen to this without thinking about Murray walker, r.i.p my friend.
