Remove Drive By Ed Sheeran from being played on Formula One Podiums
The Issue
Background.
So as we all know if you stick around for the podium you will know that the song Drive-by Ed Sheeran gets played cutting short the legendary champagne music when the drivers spray the champagne and get together for a podium photo.
I would just like to say I would like this removed and reverted back to the full champagne music pre F1 movie days, being played as hearing the legendary piece while the top 3 sink in their moment only for it to be cut short by “Hay a lay laaa” Is just so unfitting for a podium situation and especially so for an example Hamilton winning in Barcelona or Lando Norris winning the Championship in Abu Dhabi it just feels so off putting to hear a pop rock song on the podium every time after a race especially during history being made.
I just turn off the race as soon as it is due to play. But I would like to be able to go back to the days where I would watch the podium where the drivers take their photo.
So who’s with me and please take note F1.
(Podium Song we all know and love and need the full version back desperately.)

I mean I don’t hate Ed Sheeran and will not die on the hill. I don’t think he is right for a Motorsport podium.
