<\/p>\n \nThe new F1 titles for Sky featured a brighter visual experience, with cars zooming around various tracks and their driver profiles flashing up on the screen, all to the beat of Tate McRae’s ‘Just Keep Watching’.
<\/p>\n \nMcRae’s song was originally created for the movie F1<\/i> and has now found a home in the subconscious of fans for eternity.
<\/p>\n \nSome fans were quick to blast the new sequence, with one asking: “This can’t be the actual song used surely?”
<\/p>\n \nAnother compared it to the iconic opening titles that featured Fleetwood Mac’s ‘The Chain’ and wrote: “Visuals are great\u2026But bring back The Chain!!!!”
<\/p>\n \nA third brutally suggested ‘it’s perfect on mute’ while another commented ‘the song doesn\u2019t fit the titles at all’.
<\/p>\n \nOne user even went as far as to say: “Embarrassing. Coverage gets worse every year.”
<\/p>\n \nHowever amongst the negativity there were beacons of light, with one fan obsessing over the new sound, and wrote: “SLAY. THE SONG, EVERYTHING, 10\/10 NO NOTES.”
<\/p>\n \nAnother concurred: “So I get Tate McRae every race day??? Yeah in.”
<\/p>\n \nAlongside their new titles, Sky Sports also announced their lineup for 2026. Martin Brundle,\u00a0Jenson Button<\/a>, Nico Rosberg, Jacques Villeneuve, Naomi Schiff, Bernie Collins,\u00a0Karun Chandhok,\u00a0Jamie\u00a0Chadwick\u00a0and Anthony Davidson will all return as Sky’s resident experts.
<\/p>\n \nPresenters Simon Lazenby, Natalie Pinkham, Ted Kravitz, Rachel\u00a0Brookes\u00a0and Craig Slater\u00a0will also resume their duties in 2026, while the commentary booth will once again belong to\u00a0David Croft\u00a0and\u00a0Harry Benjamin.
<\/p>\n \nDanica Patrick will no longer be part of the Sky Sports team from 2026.
