Sky Sports F1 have released their opening video for the season and it’s received mixed reviews. Here’s what they should have done, I mean, this intro has EVERYTHING! Starting with a creepy robot voice over F1 footage it suddenly turns into a cartoon with explosions set to screaming electric guitars.
The intro was used by Fuji TV in Japan for the 2007 Spanish Grand Prix. Click below for the greatest 2 minutes of your life.

Hahaha! Oh man that was awesome! This is what I love most about the Japanese, aside from sushi, they aren’t afraid to give people what they want even if the result is ridiculous! Why wasn’t this a TV show when I was a child? In fact why isn’t this a TV show now?! And the music…lmfao! Too good!
It’s videos like this that make me wish I was Japanese
