CYnics will be doomed. Against all the odds of formula one, apparently, can’t put something wrong with the foot. With the hope of vision, theater and drama without much like a tire, the F1 is taking an unprecedented jump in the unknown by launching the new season with the F175 show. Binning this bad boy in the first corner is a real possibility.
But pull it on to what they did, an event where it is impossible not to be able to wrap with the backdraft of a sport of hitting its scores on perfection. The F175 is to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the inaugural Grand Prix Formula One Opened with the first Silverstone twist in 1950. This is the first time all 10 teams gathered under a roof to unveil the liver of their new challenges with the fans so so to rejoice over overly reveal to what was the previous process of pulling a big sheet to A car.
Each team has seven minutes to do this and allows to prepare his own presentation, theatrics, music and videos. The chances of a sinking of the Morass of the F1 prohibition are very real. As fear is that the environment is covered, with the makeup of the audience leaning against the Prawn Sandwich – or for F1, perhaps the billionaire baguette – Brigade. But they have proven that there is no basis. A moshpit of the Great Unhashed stood in front of the giant runway, which flew to the left and right of the VIPs to the waiting tables, but the arena around them all packed and it made a lot of noise.
The champion in the world, Max Verstappen is booed, like his Red Bull team chief Christian Horner, while Lewis Hamilton is strengthened, like tire manufacturer Pirelli, so pumped up this audience . This is the first time, for sure, the mechanical grip is satisfied with the fist-in-the-air moment.
It’s a panto and it’s brilliant. The noise waves have infiltrated the arena to have a significant impact, with no doubt in an inclusive and collective environment. There is an element of the rock concert here and as new paint jobs are released in a dry ice area and the lasers can be expected, it is far from the basins nightclub in Portsmouth, Circa 1985, F1 delivered the whole Grand, covering extravaganza.
There was a Jack Whitehall, a relatively ubiquitous host at such events, almost working on an improv level that adds a verve to the occasion that can easily drop to formality. Teams take artistic flights as they banned their liver and that it will be special is clear from the opening. Sauber launched their video of almost post-apocalyptic imagination, to destroy live drumming, and a heavy voice: “When darkness falls throughout this land …”
This is the good things. After that any short interview with the drivers was irrelevant, they nailed it as the fireworks broke out from the ceiling closely. But this is the variety of next gripping. A series of vignettes from each team. Williams followed with the MC asking the crowd “Go Wild” for the team’s chief, James Vowles, perhaps the weird call and response. RB, in an attempt at irony on their grotesque corporate name, fell flat, yet then came aston martin putting in a glorious james bond homage, red bull hosting a stage swamped by fans, ferrari throwing in a Corso Rosso-themed masterpiece to momentous music , with Hamilton applauded at the rafters, and showed by McLaren is their glorious career history in the form of classic cars.

What succeeded well was that the drivers were second in sight, it was about a show. How many sports can boast in a season opener, without sport anything? There was a combination of music, including a performance by take that-well three-fives of the classic lineup, the low-downforce had already taken. It made a wonder exactly which Demographic F1 was trying to hit, as did pop-rock artist machine gun Kelly, who was previously named by Eminem in a hip-hop drive-by shouting.
However, everyone also worked. With the crowds that fell from the O2 then, smiling smiles prevailed in F1 once again working again what looked like a positive magic alchemy, and the weather until a rip-roaring start.
