I liked the on board camera shots, switching to pit lanes. The different shots for Hakkinen's overtaking on Schumacher.
The picture quantity is great. How ever there's room for improvement (hence fours stars).
1. If you get Murry Walker to commentate, I sure sales would triple. hint for 2001
2. It would great if we could a complete lap with the on board camera.
Other than that I thought this is great DVD, for any F1 fan.


Technology to match F1   June 27, 2001

I had never contemplated buying a F1 season video before but was lured into buying this with the prospect of on-board camera views and the fact that it was over 4 hours long where the video versions of these reviews are less than half this.

The interactive element on this disk is confusing at first and it makes you just want to watch each view one at a time but it is very cool if you persevere. Each race has around 16 chapters and it shows you which of the views are available for each; "Show" (which is normal TV coverage), "Track" (trackside cameras), "On Board" (the picture never breaks up), "Pits" and "Data". There are usually at least 3 for each one. While watching from your chosen chapter you can use your remote to scroll through the other views available at the top of the screen. Only snippets of these other views are part of the normal "Show" so you do get extra race footage rather than them just being separated.

What the packaging fails to point-out is that if you watch each race separately in each view (not a tedious task), the playing time is well over 9 hours!

Definitely recommended even though the commentator sounds like Ed Winchester from the Fast Show!


Must do better next year   June 25, 2001

Not good at all. Data screens incomprehensible, no commentary for on-board shots, pits or track. Five minutes of actual review per grand prix. Interactive option very disjointed and no pre-race build up at all. Nice idea, but DVD deserves to be so much better than this.


After 21 years the title goes back to Italy.   June 10, 2001

This is the review of the 2000 season, where Michael Schumacher showed his supremacy over the competition. From Australia to Malaysia this shows extended highlights of all 17 rounds. Coulthard and Hakkinens' extraordinary overtaking manouveres. At 4 hours, if you love Formula One then this event of the first ever Season Review DVD from Duke after years of excellent videos, is for you.
