We're going to watch it this evening. I'm sure that there will be plenty
of moments that'll make me cringe but at least I'll be able to skip
through the musical acts.
I cannot wait for testing to start!
.
Sure felt like the Red Bull presentation ended early?? I wonder why they didn't have any of the presenters interacting with them.
I got a kick out of the crowd booing the FIA but I didn't think it was
very classy that they booed Horner (and I say that as someone who isn't
a Horner fan).

Thought that was more for VER.

Well that looks to be very cheesy.

So, I had to look up some of these...
* Jack Whitehall is quite well known, and has made something of an
international breakthrough with his Comedy Central show. Not very
well known outside the UK, but not unknown.
* Kane Brown is clearly an attempt to play to the US audience, but has a
wide following with younger audiences worldwide (never heard of him).
* Brian Tyler is quite a successful composer, mainly film, TV and
video games. The link to F1 is that he wrote the F1 theme (no, not The
Chain - the one from the official intros) as well as for Esports. Yes,
I had to look all that up.
* Take That...well, they are very popular in Europe and Asia still, even
though they never really made it in the US.
So, it's not a terrible line-up for an international launch...but it's
not exactly exciting. I *hope* they're just minor bits of filler with
the focus on the teams, cars and drivers.

It is obvious that F1 want to adjust to American market.
Since I am almost 60, my music preferences are different (more jazz,
rock and blues). But, obviously I'm not in the main target group.
At least there is no hip-hop, rap and similar on the list. :)
It feels like an odd mix. If it's just a bit of background, it makes
sense. A bit for existing audience but a push towards the US market.
That said, the timing isn't ideal for the US or Asia, just Europe,
really.
