Victory Theme (Portuguese: Tema da Vitória) is a Brazilian instrumental song composed specially for the broadcast of Formula One by Rede Globo.
The song was suggested by Aloysio Legey,[1] the director of Formula One transmissions for Rede Globo.
For seven years the song wasn't played on Rede Globo due to the lack of victories by Brazilian drivers, between the 1993 Australian Grand Prix won by Ayrton Senna and the 2000 German Grand Prix won by Rubens Barrichello.
The Victory Theme was also played on Rede Globo after the Brazil national team won the 1994 FIFA World Cup, as an homage to Ayrton Senna, who died earlier that year.
On March 29, 2014, the guitarist of the American band Guns N' Roses performed the song "Tema da Vitória" at a concert in São Paulo.
