They need to get rid of the CGI intro.

You can't beat that theme, I detested the ITV intro.

I rather like the current intro images, even if it does look unrealistic.

Dunno. I always liked the ITV intro, miss it kinda. I personally don't like the BBC F1 intro. The tune is okay, but the whole CGI thing doesn't appeal to me.

I like the opening tune... Preferred it last year when it was preceded by the guy with the deep voice saying "This... is Formula 1". The woman who does it this year doesn't suit as well.

Really? I absolutely hated the song and the images, in fact I hated most things about the ITV coverage.

Although I do prefer the "Scream of Science" intro to the 2010 version that we had in the first races of the season.

I prefer the intro's with actual footage in them. I especially love that shot of the cars going through Maggots with the "GRAND PRIX" logo below in the 1979 intro.

I went a bit OTT with the youtube videos but you can never have too much of The Chain

There's an idea for the intro next season, footage from this season!

I just saw it online to compare to what SPEEDtv shows us here in the states. I agree it feels a bit cheesy to me.

Same. I seem to remember a brilliant one from the 90's that was just stacked with all time classic F1 moments, you can't beat that.

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??
