When it comes to the world of Formula 1, glamor is as much a part of the sport as high-speed racing itself. And at the Australian GP, the excitement was at an all-time high as fans eagerly awaited the arrival of one of their homegrown celebrities. As the fans eagerly waited, the Sky Sports F1 commentary team was buzzing with excitement. And when she finally arrived, it was none other than the queen of pop herself, Kylie Minogue.

For David Croft, the voice of Formula 1, known for his famous line “It’s lights out, and away we go!”, this was a moment he had been waiting for. It seems like as a longtime fan of Kylie’s music, he couldn’t contain his excitement, and fans could hear it in his voice as he made reference after reference to the singer’s iconic hits.

David was in full fanboy mode, and a few of the fans loved every minute of it. But not everyone was pleased with the puns and references being made. The team was called out, and fans demanded justice for their suffering at the hands of Crofty.
