Amazon’s live radio app Amp will partner with Formula One to debut a brand new exclusive Formula One programme called Fast and Loose, starting with the Belgian Grand Prix.
The Fast and Loose show will have a live and interactive post-race show which will be hosted by Hollywood actor Will Arnett and also a live simulcast show hosted by Michelle Beadle and The Kid Mero.
The show post the Belgian Grand Prix will also feature former Formula One World Champion Mika Häkkinen and Katie Osborne. There will also be Fast and Loose Sidecast, which will get underway at the start of every race while the Post Show will be held at the end of each race.
Will Arnett, comedian and actor and host of the post-race show on Fast and Loose, commented:
“Like many other Americans, I have recently become obsessed with Formula One. They wouldn’t let me drive the cars, so instead, I’ll be taking calls live from the sidelines.
“I’m so excited to start on my true path in life – sports commentary – and with some great talent beside me, we’re getting into all things Formula 1 with humour, love for the sport, and of course, some hot takes.“
Ian Holmes, Director of Media Rights and Content Creation for Formula One, stated:
“Formula 1 is proud to work with Amp on showcasing an exciting slate of shows to complement our race coverage. With Amp, F1 fans in the US can now interact with races in a brand-new way, taking the fan-experience even further beyond the track.“
Matt Sander, Head of Business and Operations for Amp, added:
“Formula 1 is undoubtedly one of the most popular sporting events in the world, and has taken the US by storm. And now, Amp will be the preeminent destination for live, interactive race commentary and entertaining analysis, mic’d by voices that fans already know and love.
“Fast & Loose highlights what makes Amp so special – the magic of live reactions from incredible talent, elevated by F1 fans participating in the show. Whether you are new to F1 or watched Mika [Hakkinen] race, you will laugh, cry, and yell alongside the races on Amp.“
