ITV-F1 theme

ITV_F1.JPGI have noticed a few people searching for the theme music to the ITV coverage of F1.

Well here we are, it’s ‘Lift Me Up’ by Moby.

Downloads for your phones : Midi , WMA (Windows Mobile) or MP3

I also have the BBC ‘Original’ F1 music, here in MP3  

If you like the song, then grab the album

FIA Theme Music, Here in MP3

(P.S. Sorry about the broken link in the BBC tune, should be fixed now)

  2. I watched the highlights of F1 last night and they have used a new them tune – not Moby – the lyrics that were repeated most were 'turn me on' and it is a house/dance song which I love but cannot find what it is – can anyone help? Tks.

    By Jamie B on Jul 31, 2006

  3. That's the Moby tune.

    By ashleigh on Aug 1, 2006

  4. Do you also know the tune that was used before the Moby one?

    By pip on Aug 7, 2006

  5. The one before Moby was actually a specifically written theme by jamiroquai. It's never actually been released, I believe it was called Speed or something similar.

    I will try to hunt it down.

    By nikki on Apr 15, 2007

  28. Nikki, its Short Circuit and it was written by Steve Duberry. It’s not available anywhere as far as I know, however the ‘classical’ music used as the sample is Bitzels PearlFisher.

    Hope that helps

    It’s used on the promo trailer, with the red, black and white typeface animated to fit the overdub. It’s a sweeping string thing with a fat baseline.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Bob

    By Bob Bowden on Jun 11, 2007

  35. Here is a puzzler for you… in the old days of F1 on the BBC, when Murray used to go through the grid, there always used music in the background, it was not the theme tune to F1 but more of a techno sound – can yo help ?

    Thanks

    Jay

    By Jason on Jun 25, 2007

  36. Going back 10 years ago, when ITV did its first F1 season. In Jerez, they did a feature that showed some of the moments of the ITV season to a dance-type backing track. Haunted me for ages, always wanted to know what it’s called. It sounds like Delerium/Tin Tin Out and has a good beat behind it with a ‘whoa-hah-hey’ vocal-line behind it
    Any help tracking it down would be appreciated. Think it’s the same one that Saville and Nicolle are looking for
    Cheers

    By Paul on Jun 26, 2007

  37. I’ll have a look about see what I can find out.

    By ashleigh on Jun 27, 2007

  38. BBC used Columbia by Oasis at one time (95 I think in review of the season) and also they have used Favourite Game by The Cardigans. Check them in case its one of them.

    By Lee on Jun 29, 2007

  39. Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me please. The F1 programme today, about 30 minutes in, they did a montage of Lewis Hamilton’s pole qualifier from yesterday. Does anyone know the music they played over it. Thank you.

    “Nikki, its Short Circuit and it was written by Steve Duberry. It’s not available anywhere as far as I know, however the ‘classical’ music used as the sample is Bitzels PearlFisher.”

    In response to the above, the PearlFisher music content of this composition was an original recording using live singers and orchestra and WAS NOT a sample.

    There are plans to make this track along with other TV sports themes by Steve DuBerry available in the near future

    By Sarah on Jul 19, 2007

  46. Ya Paul that is the tune i was looking for driving me mad if it helps ashleigh it was also used on ITV at the end of the french Gp in 98 or 99 season for there When Murray Walker was to go in a Mclaren Two seater with Martin Brundle Please help?

    By saville on Aug 8, 2007

  47. Wow, that’s going back… I’ll have a dig about and see what I can find, The murray and Brundel two seater drive is listed on “Murray Walker’s F1 Greats” DVD, I’ll have a look what audio is on the DVD, might just be the ITV feed.

    By ashleigh on Aug 8, 2007

  48. Well I am looking for the theme music that they showed at the end of 2004 season on star sports, wherein they showed the entire seasons summary in a short 2-3 minute clip with a background music that I have searching since that year. It would be really Kind if anyone even knows the name of that track…

  54. Does anyone know the classical piece that is usually played after the podium ceremony.
    Its quite fast – dit dit didadida dit dit didadida dit dit didadida-der.
    does that make sence?

    By Jeff on Oct 22, 2007

  55. Anyone know…?

    Before the race, ITV showed some VT with Lewis, Fernando & Kimi giving them the subtitles “ROOKIE”, “CHAMPION” & “ICE MAN” iirc – it has some nice bassy punchy music set to it, does anyone know what that’s called & if it’s available?

    By Steve on Oct 22, 2007

  56. Doesn’t matter!
    I’m told it’s: Amerie – Gotta work

    By Steve on Oct 22, 2007

  57. Sorry, I lied; it’s ‘Genesis’ by Justice. :)

    By Steve on Oct 22, 2007

  58. I’ll rip it off to WMV at somepoint shortly for anyone that wants to download it, as I know not all broadcasters used it.

    By ashleigh on Oct 22, 2007

  59. For how long will F1 bosses continue to think that fans are so gullible and naive? After qualifying on pole for the last race in Brazil, Fillipe Massa in an interview with Itv said: I’ll play my part but it’s up to the McLaren boys to play their part.

    Does that mean, all collaborating to ensure a Raikonen win? After all he’s been trying to win the Championship for years now and Lewis could take a backseat.

    In !997, when Jaques Villneuve won the drivers Championship for Williams, after Schumacher slammed his Ferari into his Williams, it was decided, that Hakinen should win the race. He’s after all, been in formula 1 for a long time, without winning a single race by then.

    Writing some few years back,the Sunday Times Magazine had this to say: ‘Sponsorship has replaced the swashbuckling dare-devil as the persona of the modern grand prix driver. Laden down by a quilt of advertising logos masquerading as race overalls, the press conference reveals them to be what in most cases have become prepackaged and corporate spin.’

    We have not been so gullible or naive as Ecclestone and others have been thinking after all!

  60. Nikki

    Go to http://www.geocities.com/trevchris2003/INTERACTIVE.html for the WRC theme. I’m not sure of the quality of the recording though. The sound range isn’t very good so perhaps its been recorded off the telly with a mike?

    By jimbo on Oct 27, 2007

  61. I’ll pull the audio of this weekend’s broadcast of the WRC for those that want it.

  90. Hey, does anyone have the track that used to be the FIA intro music – not the colourful whizzing around in a circle, but the one before that, or where I could get in from? Also, has anyone ever managed to get hold of the Jamiroquai theme tune from before Moby? Cheers!

    By eric on Sep 27, 2008

  99. Hi,

    There’s been a tune stuck in my head for many years. It was an eletronic lyricless song that featured on Martin Brundell’s F1 focus on the redbull racing team where he used computer technology to explain the aerodynamics. Im pretty sure it was in 2006. I have been searching for this for a long time and if anyone could help, it would mean so much to me.

    Thanks
    Jay

    By Jay on Sep 27, 2008

  100. Does anybody know what music is played in the 2008 Monaco GP on ITV right after the intro when Jenson Button is driving in a red Honda in the Monaco hills? It’s some sort of James Bond type of music.

    Thanks

    By David on Oct 2, 2008

  114. http://www.last.fm/music/Ludovico+Einaudi/_/Passaggio

    Above is the lovely piece of classical music used on the final show of 2008 drivers montage for anybody looking it. (Simon?) It’s by the modern Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi and is called Passaggio, I would also recommend listening to Giorni Dispari as another nice piece from the same composer.

    By Sandy on Nov 6, 2008

  115. Thank you Sandy you are a STAR! It’s been bugging me since Saturday.

  118. <<>>

    Joel/Ben… clue: try looking a few posts up (19/10/08 posting).

    It’s ‘F*ckit’ by 30-years-past-their-sell-by-date Sheffield poodle-fakers Def Leppard.

    I can’t imagine any reason why you guys would want to seek out that bit of music, expect perhaps to buy it on CD & then symbolically microwave it.

    The closest music world equivalent to the sloppy finale of a post-Vindaloo dump – and worse-smelling. A true disgrace.

  121. Can anyone tell me the music that is being played at the very start of this video?

    Jim Rosenthal narrates over it so you’ll have to listen carefully.

  122. I was going through some old VHS recordings of BBC Grand Prix highlights, and after a bit of seaching found this, which was the music used when showing the grid line-up

  123. Ha its rocket by def leppard, c’mon that is quality! When you here that you know the F1 is about to start, maybe that adds to it :D

    By Ben on Nov 20, 2008

  124. Hello.

    Some while back ITV used the start of an instrumental guitar track for various motorsport programmes. I’ve never heard the full thing, and the only other place I’ve heard it since was as the background for a random item on Channel 4 news. But it sounds absolutely IMMENSE and I would love to hear from anyone out there who knows what it is. It’s an rock track with multiple guitar overdubs that build in gradually (it’s definitely not The Chain, but it’s got that same epic quality to it; it’s also definitely not Can I Play With Madness? or Rocket). For any other guitar geeks out there, it’s in A minor.

    I’m trying to track it down as a present for my Dad and would be massively grateful for any pointers.

    Thanks a lot.

  125. Hello

    By Andy B on Nov 28, 2008

  126. Richie – You are a GOD!!! Have loved that music since I was about 5-6 years old, never known what it was though.

    By Tim on Nov 30, 2008

  127. Jay post a question last year

    ‘Here is a puzzler for you… in the old days of F1 on the BBC, when Murray used to go through the grid, there always used music in the background, it was not the theme tune to F1 but more of a techno sound – can yo help ?’

    I am still looking for it..any help?

    By Mark on Dec 5, 2008

  128. mark,

    By john on Dec 15, 2008

  129. hey im after the tume they use in f1 after the national anthems. i used to heare it after shumacers wins all the time but cant find it anywhere (i heard it in italian once and never again)

    By tony on Jan 14, 2009

  130. The music they used when showing the grid line-up changed around 1992-ish; I was 7 then and until I found this video today I thought I must just have been remembering Ivory Tower wrongly:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w80X3g2Xf2A&feature=related

    Music starts at 2:35 – it’s nice to know I’m not going mad, because that’s exactly how I remember it, but what is it?

    By Adam on Feb 18, 2009

  131. Hi, Does anyone know who sung the ‘2008 end of ITV season’ clip, I think it’s called ‘Never Gonna Break Me’?? Thanks, – Andrea

  136. Hi everyone! Here’s to another great F1 season!
    Can anybody tell me where I can download the music that used to start when the FIA logo comes up!It was only a short burst of music and lasted only for about 15 seconds! It has changed now but would really like the 90’s version for my Ringtone. I can only describe it as starting of with a whaaa whaaa effect!
    Hope can help me guys,
    Chris! :)

    By Chris on Mar 22, 2009

  137. To those who were asking about the music played during the champagne spraying, its from Georges Bizet’s Carmen, Suite no.1, Les Toreadors… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DNGMoMNLRY&feature=related

    By Rajat on Mar 28, 2009

  138. thank you for looking into that for me ashleigh, but regretabily neither of the links are correct.

    it was at brazil race, before the race actually started i believe, and it was a 5 minute (or so) segmant profiling all of schumachers achievements in his f1 career.

    might dial 118118 for the answer.
    if i get it i’d be sure to post it for all to see.

    By jake on Mar 29, 2009

  139. I really need alot of help please.

    By daniel on May 13, 2009

  148. The BBC F1 theme is called “Motorsport” by Roger Barsotti. Thanks for that one, I’ve been looking for it for ages!

    By Stan on May 17, 2009

  149. The BBC theme song is called “Motorsport” by Roger Barsotti (it’s the one that goes dum da da dum da dum der dum dum and so on). Thanks for that I’ve been looking for it for ages!

    By Stan S on May 17, 2009

  150. Hi,

    I really need the name of the song played on BBC coverage of F1. It’s the tune that runs in the background when Martin Brundle explains F1 terminology (t = tyres, o = oversteer etc.)

    I can’t get it out of my head! Please help!

    By B3RyL on May 23, 2009

  151. Monaco grand prix where DC and Jake lap the circuit prior to it being closed in DC’s classic Merc. James Bond theme song at the start when he’s coming down from the hills? Which theme is this – it’s grating on me!

    By davicio on May 25, 2009

  152. That would probably be you only live twice, think millenium by robbie williams has a similar intro too.

    By Steve on May 30, 2009

  153. B3RyL,

    The song you are looking for is called ‘A Beautiful Mine’ by RJD2, which is also the theme tune for the TV show ‘Mad Men’ apprantely…

    By Ian on May 31, 2009

    By Daniella on Sep 20, 2009

  157. Do you mean on the BBC Intro? if so it’s the BBC original music linked up top ;) if not let me know which music you mean

    By ashleigh on Sep 20, 2009

  158. hi erm does anyone know the songs used on the singapore video on the official formula 1 website?

    By david maclennan on Oct 19, 2009

  159. Does anyone know what the music is called that was played during the practice session of the Abu Dhabi of the 2009. Just this one none of the others. I know it’s a late 60’s early 70’s song (Flower Power) but apart from that i’m stumped. Glad to see Fleetwood Mac’s song back, where it so richly deserves. Formula 1 isn’t the same without it.
