Formula 1 1978 Review DVD

Advantages: Brilliant footage, lots of it, flexible.
Disadvantages: The races weren't very good in 2000, useless menu system, typically poor commentary.

...With the 2001 Formula One season having drawn to a close, petrolheads like myself are forced to look for other means of getting our F1 fix. For the first time, the season review of Formula One has been released on DVD, allowing for a far more extensive season guide than has been produced before. In raw terms the difference is noticeable immediately - the VHS season guides typical feature around two hours of footage; the 2000 season DVD has 255 minutes of digital material. Each race can be viewed independently from the main 'Super' channel, incorporating track views, on-board cameras (OBC) and shots from the pitlane. Alternatively, the interactive feature allows you to flick between shots either from the main 'Super' channel or from an alternative trackside view, an OBC, the pits or the data stream. It's a great concept but... Read review

...F1 Review 2000 Formula one in 2000 was a good season. It was the first Year on the grid for Britain's Jenson Button and you get to see Michael Schumacher fighting it out with Mika Hakkinen. 2000 was also the year where David Coulthard won his second British Grand Prix so there is plenty to celebrate, and there is plenty of action when the Monaco GP is red flagged and restarted.

As with all Formula one reviews this DVD does contain all the best action from a great season. You are able to choose how you would like to watch the DVD. You pick the race event and then u can choose to watch the continuous version where it then allows you to pick the chapter... Read review

...Formula One Review 2006 (dvd) As with all F1 review DVD's this has the best moments from the whole season on it. 2006 was a great season for formula one with Renaults Fernando Alonso taking the World championship for a second year running and confirming his status as one of the best drivers in the world. In doing so he became one of only eight drivers in the history of Formula one to win back to back titles. This is something he shares with the ever great Michael Schumacher and as any Formula one fan will know 2006 was also the year in which he announced his Retirement from Formula one ending what has been said is the greatest formula one career of all time…his records speak for themselves. Also on this DVD you get all the best highlights from Jenson Buttons first Grand Prix win in Hungary and Felipe Massa's first step... Read review
