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. But when you get into the meat of the review – the races – all is well.
