Movie Reviews of 2005 F1 Formula One World Championship Review
Movie Review: 2005 F1 dvd - great coverage, some room for improvement
Summary: 4 Stars
At the moment this is my favorite F1 DVD to watch, mostly because at this point it has the best balance of good content and good video quality. I like the in-car footage of qualifying, although as in the 2004 dvd you have to go to the individual race menu for each event to see it. It's funny how in most of these they have a driver of the same nationality present a qualifying lap for each track.
Overall this DVD is excellent. The video compression seems only applied to the qualifying laps, so the rest of the footage doesn't appear to show any problems with quality. Also, for some reason the in-car footage is more exciting on this volume, especially on tracks like Spa or Nurburgring which have lots of elevation changes, or just because you aren't seeing all pole laps so you hear the drivers describe whatever mistakes happen and how much time it might have cost them.
These Championship Reviews are great to have if you have any interest in Formula 1. The footage is exciting and the scenery is beautiful as well. This is also the year that Ralph hit the wall at Indy for the second year in a row (this time he walked away, thankfully), prompting the controversial Michelin incident that resulted in a mere six-car race.
Summary of 2005 F1 Formula One World Championship Review
2005 saw Fernando Alonso's climactic rise to become the youngest driver to take pole position, the youngest race winner and now, remarkably, the youngest Formula 1T World Champion ever. This year saw dramatic changes with new rules and a radical shake up of the old order. Gone is the Ferrari domination of recent years, the team from Maranello could only manage the top step of the podium once this year! Nine different drivers took pole position and five won races in this record-breaking season, but the real story was the battle for supremacy between Renault and McLaren. Four consecutive race wins for Renault at the start of the season left McLaren struggling behind but, with Kimi R?ikk?nen challenging, they fought back. With threee races remaining, the Championship contenders had six wins apiece -Alonso had the upper hand but R?ikk?nen was not finished yet. Even when Alonso was crowned the Driver's Champion, the Constructors' World Championship title was still up for the taking. Ride on-board with R?ikk?nen for a qualifying lap of the inaugural Formula 1T Turkish Grand Prix and experience the infamous turn eight. Go behind the scenes of one of the most glamorous sports in the world with special features and exclusive on-board footage as FANTASTIC FERNANDO marks the beginning of a new era of Formula 1T motor racing.Sports DVD Video
