Memes on the sound of the F1 cars

If not the best, it at least has to be one of the best Formula 1 memes of the 2021 season. The ‘Zoom’ meme particularly illustrated the sound of the F1 cars. And when it comes to sound, who could ever forget the ‘neow guy’ who stole the show at the 2018 US GP?

The race was going intense, with David Croft and Martin Brundle onto their usual commentating skills. Then, all of a sudden, there was a weird noise showing up on the broadcast that sounded nothing like the F1 cars. The actual sound of the cars subsided, and instead, all the viewers could hear were ‘neows’.
