The Formula1 Theme

Track: Formula1 Theme
Composer: Brian Tyler
Year: 2018
Genre: Classical / Orchestral



We are midway through the winter break in the world of Formula1 (F1) and I can't wait for the lights to go out at the Australian GP on March 17, 2019. Looking back at an action packed season, if there is one thing that gave me goosebumps each time, it was the F1 theme song composed by Brian Tyler.

What a boon Liberty Media has been to F1 ! The sport has never been as engaging as it is today and a major chunk of the credit goes to them. From regular video uploads on multiple platforms, spanning highlights packages, radio messages and history refreshers, F1 has finally become a modern sport capable of generating new fans and appeasing the loyalists.

Brian Tyler is a Hollywood veteran, composing music for some of our favorite movies and franchises. And he has delivered an impeccable soundtrack that captures the adrenaline and frenetic pace of F1. That soundtrack has been my de facto alarm clock every race weekend last year, with races in Europe starting at 5AM/6AM. Because, immediately following it were Crofty and Brundle introducing the circuit and the starting grid. Minutes to lights out!

Fans of orchestral music will appreciate the massive sound in this track, played by the London Philharmonia in the video. The racing fans will appreciate the engine sounds interspersed and blended in.

Good job, Brian!
