It's like a big family moving around the world together, sharing experiences and the camaraderie is ever present. When we go out on tour it's like a giant touring family and I feel F1 is like that too. Well there’s a similarity in the sense that when we go on tour it's like a huge moving circus. What is something F1 and your music have in common? Richard Ashcroft was on the bill before us and so we had a full on rockstar day together, choppering into the GP then onto the festival… that was pretty special! And, of course, I just love good close races where there are battles going on until the end of the races - these are moments in time where the competition is just so close and I love the thrill of real battle on the circuit.į1-TO-ONE: Register now for your chance to virtually meet F1 drivers Later in life I remember attending the British GP at Silverstone which was taking place before our headline slot at the Isle of Wight festival. I remember those hazy Sunday afternoons as a kid watching the races on TV - I grew up in Scotland and have fond memories of F1 as being a backdrop to my life growing up there. We know you’re a big F1 fan, what are your favourite memories from following Formula 1? It’d be interesting to know what others would choose… But they’re really just a couple of random choices. It’d be hard to decide which Coldplay song I’d choose to pair with F1 - maybe God Put a Smile Upon Your Face as it's a bit menacing too - or perhaps Adventure of a Lifetime as Jonny’s guitar riff is so catchy too…. John McVie’s bassline is just so menacing and iconic. That's a tough one! For me the theme song of F1 will always be Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain as that's what I remember it being when I was a kid. If one of your songs was to be the new theme tune for F1, which would it be? The full Guy Berryman F1 Tracks playlist can be found on Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music. His favourite track from his takeover is José Gonzaléz’s cover of Teardrop. Guy’s playlist includes Kanye West’s Flashing Lights, Dua Lipa’s Be the One, The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights and My Number from Foals. Noting the similarities between F1 and live music, Guy notes that just like races, live shows are full of pressure, excitement and, sometimes, drama. In the Q&A below, Guy highlights Charles Leclerc as a a Coldplay fan and that he has seen him play piano "very nicely". His impressive personal car collection comprises of mainly 1960’s European sports cars as well as a few vintage racing cars, including a very rare Alpine A220 that raced at Le Mans in the late 1960s. Owing to his background in engineering, almost all mechanical objects hold a huge fascination for Guy. If the song fits well across multiple decades of F1, that means the theme is timeless and the best.This week’s F1 Tracks takeover has landed with Coldplay bassist and F1 lover Guy Berryman providing his soundtrack to the Eifel Grand Prix from the legendary Nürburgring. Here's The Chain as the intro from the 80s and here's a fan edit of The Chain on Sky's 2022 intro and I still get goosebumps. The portion introducing the starting grid is the perfect buildup I get goosebumps. The Tyler theme ( 2018 version is my favourite) creates the right drama, intrigue, and anticipation for what's to come. Special shout outs to two themes, probably the best two themes for F1 and the ones to be remembered the most: The Chain by Fleetwood Mac used by the BBC and the theme composed by Brian Tyler The first one is a great guitar intro it gets the anticipation going, the second one associated with the early 2000s creates a sense of urgency, the third one during the final ITV years creates a serious mood, and the theme that lasted from 2009-2017 is short, but when you hear it, you know it's time to go racing. This video has most but not all themes, but hearing each one makes me excited and motivated to watch F1. Looking for the Daily Discussion thread ? Menuį1 has always had epic intros and themes.
