What’s offered here is all good quality material and the package is pretty good value. It’s a shame there’s no corresponding piece on the new world champion, though. There are seven further features including pieces on Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber, and a particularly good one with the two McLaren drivers looking back on footage of the likes of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. One of the best is the start of the Australian Grand Prix seen from the perspective of several different drivers, including Vitaly Petrov weaving his way past several cars and Sebastien Buemi being taken out by Kamui Kobayashi. Instead of a single hot lap from each race we get a different selection of onboard material. That is partly remedied by the excellent selection of extras, which is a marked improvement on previous offerings. Watching the full review end-to-end you find it starts to get a little repetitive – are all those montages reminding us of what we saw half an hour age really necessary?Īnd while the focus is inevitably on the five drivers who did all the winning, I’d like to have seen a bit more of the teams in the midfield and at the back of the grid.
Qualifying and practice highlights get a mention too along with a few unseen moments – such as Robert Kubica discovering someone had left a mobile ‘phone in his car while he drives around Bahrain.Įdwards’ commentary is spot on as usual and the producers have wisely kept the footage free of music (a major irritation in previous editions). There’s ample coverage of all the major moments, often with a couple of new angles thrown in for good measure. Whoever tackled the mammoth task of condensing the days’ worth of footage into pithy reviews of each race has done a first-class job. If anyone has higher quality versions of existing files, or has reviews I haven't found, please send them on and I can update in the future.But when you get into the meat of the review – the races – all is well. As these reviews are all coming from different sources, video quality and file size varies drastically The official reviews drop off in production quality severely from 2018 onwards, watching the Sky one instead is recommended The DVD one was much easier to source and has much better overall quality, so I've just included that one There were two 2001 reviews, one for VHS and one on DVD that came with that year's F1 video game. The official 2019 review is poor quality (480p only) I've ignored the Channel 4 season reviews (2016-2018) as they proved impossible to find, and heard nothing good about them.
BBC reviews of the 2009-2015 seasons, and a retrospective review of the 1991 season Sky Sports F1 reviews of 2018 to 2020, as well as some retrospective reviews of the 1993, 1994, 1995, and 2012 seasons Every official review from 1970 to 2020 I've done my best to compile F1 season reviews for as many years as possible, from as many sources as possible.
