.... — racing from the track to screens worldwide. In a sport like Formula 1, where fans obsess over every detail, Sting Energy tapped into the most iconic and visceral element of the experience: sound.

While isolating audio layers from a race recording, Armin noticed an uncanny resemblance between the engine's pitch and the sonic builds in his music.

Making the discovery, world renowned DJ and record producer, Armin van Buuren said, "As a longtime F1 fan, I was revisiting some engine sounds in the studio when one frequency stood out, it almost sounded like 'Sting.' At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but the more I listened, the more melodic it became. It's a great reminder that inspiration can come from the most unexpected places – even a car racing down the track."
