Soundtrack your 2026 race weekends by following the Official Formula 1 Playlist – F1 Tracks – on Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and Soundcloud.
– The latest Song of the Week is ‘New Money’ by Penelope Road.
The world’s most prestigious motor racing competition has had a rich association with music, from iconic songs that have provided the soundtrack to some of the most memorable races in history, to artists who’ve entertained fans live at racetracks across the globe in recent years.
Now that relationship is brought full circle with F1 Tracks, providing fans of the sport with the perfect soundtrack to accompany their race day, whether that’s from the comfort of their sofa or sat on Silverstone’s Hangar Straight.
Having been launched ahead of the British Grand Prix weekend in July 2019, the playlist has a massive hit with fans of the sport, with over 160K people following the core F1 Tracks playlist on Spotify.
Its success across all streaming platforms has resulted in Formula 1 being named an official Apple Music Curator. Apple Curator status is only granted to the best playlist brands, with F1 placed on a pedestal alongside other global players including EA and Nike. You can find out more about F1’s playlists on Apple Music by clicking here.
F1 Tracks is updated on a weekly basis, uniting both global superstars with the sounds of F1. Every Friday, international playlist picks will be filtered according to four key categories: Pace, Mechanical, Spirit & Fan. This unique set of principles will produce a bespoke and dynamic playlist for fans, which embodies F1 and is distinctive to other weekly streamed playlists.
Alongside the core playlist, a number of selected artists have curated bespoke takeover playlists for the sport. The 2019 Formula 1 season saw Mabel get things underway with her unique playlist at the British Grand Prix, with Kings Of Leon, Imagine Dragons, Groove Armada, Becky Hill, Måneskin, You Me At Six, Avril Lavigne and K-pop group NCT 127 among the artists who have been involved.
The natural progression of the curated F1 Tracks artists takeover playlists has seen some of the drivers get involved in sharing some of the music they love to listen to, with Ferrari starlet Charles Leclerc, Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly of BWT Alpine, Red Bull‘s Sergio Perez and Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber’s Zhou Guanyu giving fans a taste of their own favourite tunes in recent seasons.
The evolution of the F1 Tracks philosophy saw the launch of F1 Tracks: Discovery – dedicated to championing new and emerging talent, highlighting the next generation of artists and supporting them on their journey by driving their music to Formula 1 fans.
Launched at the 2023 British Grand Prix, in partnership with TikTok and supported by established UK artists and Grand Prix performers Tom Grennan, Cat Burns and Rudimental, F1 Tracks: Discovery is the Formula 1 original music initiative dedicated to championing new and emerging talent.
During the weekend of the British Grand Prix 2023, F1 Tracks: Discovery saw three up and coming live acts perform on the Main Stage in the form of Michael Aldag, SKYLAR, AntsLive and Only The Poets. ALTÉGO, Florrie, Jordss and Nonô took to the stage at 65,000 capacity music arena at Silverstone to perform in 2024, with 2025 seeing an all-female line-up of Dirty Blonde, Sasha Keable, NONÔ and Mia Kirkland take to the stage.
F1 Tracks is the first step into building a wider music offering for fans of the sport, which unites cultural passions with racing. Each Friday more tracks will be added the list engaging not just fans but other artists to upload new releases and reach a more diverse fan base.
