So, I had to look up some of these...

Thank you for the effort!

>
* Jack Whitehall is quite well known, and has made something of an
 international breakthrough with his Comedy Central show. Not very
 well known outside the UK, but not unknown.

Never heard of him.

* Kane Brown is clearly an attempt to play to the US audience, but has a
 wide following with younger audiences worldwide (never heard of him).

Ditto.

* Brian Tyler is quite a successful composer, mainly film, TV and
 video games. The link to F1 is that he wrote the F1 theme (no, not The
 Chain - the one from the official intros) as well as for Esports. Yes,
 I had to look all that up.

I didn't know this. OK.

* Take That...well, they are very popular in Europe and Asia still, even
 though they never really made it in the US.
>

I know that they were popular, but didn't know they are STILL popular.
Not my cup of tea. :)

So, it's not a terrible line-up for an international launch...but it's
not exactly exciting. I *hope* they're just minor bits of filler with
the focus on the teams, cars and drivers.

It is obvious that F1 want to adjust to American market.

Since I am almost 60, my music preferences are different (more jazz,
rock and blues). But, obviously I'm not in the main target group.

At least there is no hip-hop, rap and similar on the list. :)
