The very first broadcast of those idents (Paint) had no logo. I think they were keyed live, rather being burned on, for the benefit of the nations, which used 'BBC Scotland'/'BBC Northern Ireland' instead ('this is BBC Wales on 1', anyone?). Originally I'm pretty sure the lines under the BBC blocks were coloured differently for each nation, too.
I can't think why the 4 would be generated live either, and looking at the other new idents, I suspect it actually isn't. So how strange for the F1 ident not to have a logo. Unless that's how all new 'special' idents will be?
