The 2023 Formula 1 season begins tomorrow! And it’s safe to say that this is one of the most hotly anticipated seasons this sport has witnessed. Pre-season testing wrapped up last week in Bahrain, and the teams have collected some very important and useful data to be put to use for this week’s Bahrain GP. That being said, a new season brings a lot of bonuses and things to look forward to for the fans. As is the tradition, every year, F1 has a new set of dazzling opening titles. True to their form, F1 released their newest iteration, and it is a banger!
With all the hype that is surrounding this season, fans were greeted with the latest opening titles for the 2023 season by F1 on their official Twitter handle. We’ve got the same spine-chilling theme composed by Brian Tyler, and the usual suspects are all there. Fans were graced with the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, and the entirety of the F1 grid as they put their game faces on. And as it turns out, there is one particular fan, with a solid racing pedigree, who was blown away by the scenes, too!
Ryan Truex, the brother of 2017 NASCAR Cup Series Champion Martin Truex Jr. was really feeling it as he hopped onto the F1 hype train. As soon as F1 released the opening titles on their social media account, the 30-year-old Xfinity driver took to his Twitter handle to let the whole world know what he thought about it.

According to F1.com, “When rivals were asked who surprised them the most in testing, Aston Martin was a favorite choice.” Further down the grid, Williams might just spring us a surprise.
“You might also find it odd that Williams is classed as the winner given they finished bottom of the one-lap pace charts. But they have gained the most time of any team versus 2022 testing according to our data – 2.378s – and finished second in the mileage charts with 439 laps.” In other news, Red Bull goes into the weekend as a favorite, with Ferrari following close behind.
