That was just a clip from the first Charlies Angels film right?




They could at least use F1 cars to advertise F1.

Very strange idea to advertise F1, doesn't really show anything of the sport. Just a dodgy car chase with a couple of single seaters. (I've been trying to work out what those cars started out as.) They could have done a better job dubbing the F1 engine sounds on too. Hope the actual coverage is better.

That's better.

Notice how they have substituted their own Radio 5 commentaries wherever Allen was commentating.

Must try harder if they want it to be classy and new

Well, I think thats pretty crap actually.

Hardly a good advert for Formula One, they could at least have used real F1 cars.

BBC - Take inspiration from a firm that did it right (and they were advertising fuel not F1): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6gcwIt5nSM

I agree on both those points. The Shell film is very, very good.

Yep have to agree with the majority here, the trailer is very low rent looking and if they think people will actually believe they're genuine F1 cars, Im afraid they'll be terribly disappointed.

It's not an intro it's a trailer, an advert for F1 on the BBC.

Casual viewers of F1 will probably be fooled by those cars. I was at Brands yesterday taking photos for a driver at the Formula Renault testing. I showed a few people at my main job some photos today and several of them immediately asked "Is that an F1 car then?"!
