The song was used by the BBC at the end of their coverage of the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in a montage showing highlights of the Formula One season,.[1]

A re-recorded version[2] (replacing the lyrics "died a thousand times" with "lived a thousand lives") was used as the theme tune for Sky Sports F1's coverage from the 2012 season [3] to 2018, when it was replaced for the 2019 season by Daft Punk's Outlands track from the Tron Legacy Soundtrack.[4]

It was also featured on the end credits in the F1 2012 video game.[5]
