With the commencement of the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix, Formula 1 introduced its new intro video for international broadcasts, showcasing the 20 drivers on the grid once again.
Since there have been no driver changes from the previous season, the video features no new faces, nor are there any team color changes. However, one detail has particularly caught the attention of fans on social media.
The intro video for F1 in 2024:
The first and most noticeable coincidence that stood out involves the moment Fernando Alonso appears, as he is featured exactly at the 33-second mark, the number that has been closely associated with him for exactly a year. Alonso has secured 32 victories in Formula 1, and following Aston Martin’s impressive pace at the beginning of 2023, his fans spent the entire season dreaming of achieving the coveted 33rd win.
Regarding the rest of the video, the presentation of the drivers starts from the back to the front based on the classification order of the last season, and each driver is represented with their name and number according to the corporate color of their respective teams.
