Good season, Brilliant champion!!!
This was a very good season, apart from the USA grand prix, but there was some great races and in the end, a superb driver won the title!!!

Great DVD if slightly biased!
Thank god, finally a DVD without any "let's meet the City of..." introductions! 2005, a great year in F1, has all its 3 hours jam packed with F1 material and not publicising Countries!

Ben Edwards' commentary is informative and the on track action is generally very well done - although many of the midfeild battles are left completely overlooked. More time is spent watching the same top 6 drivers come in and out of the pits. Its a very common error in these DVD's so I suppose it's just something we'll have to get used to!

Also ignored is qualifying which had great impact on the season.

However the content here is good and if you have to limit the DVD's to 3 hours, what we get is good enough for me.

a promising year, promising DVD
This reviews the year that Schumacher lost his crown. Alonso became World champion and that in it's own is worhty of a purchase; especially if you have the previous years' reviews in your collection. There are highlights of all the races. Each chapter has an on-board lap to show you what it really looks like from the drivers point of view, which is very exciting. Unfortunately they aren't part of the whole DVD show, you actually have to select these from various sub menus which is not what I expect to see from a great review, hence the 4 stars.

Great season, great review
I thoroughly enjoyed recalling the great F1 season we have just watched with the help of this DVD. It includes the main parts of each race that are essential to piece together the way each race went, and the latest news is well integrated into the season. I also liked the way it dealt with the farce that was Indianapolis 2005 responsibly, just describing the events rather than using it as an opportunity to air the views that the producers had on the event. At over 3 hours long, this is a lengthy but enjoyable way to reflect on the start of a new era.

Why not 5 stars? It says on each race menu 'On Pole', which should show the pole lap. However, only several times does the pole driver describe his lap. More often than not, a different driver (eg. Scott Speed at Indy and Vitantonio Liuzzi at Monza) describes their lap. That's not what I wanted! Some of the pole position laps this season were simply stunning, but instead we listen to an average driver harping on about their own lap, which is from practice and nothing special! A small glitch in what is a good DVD. Ben Edwards is a great narrator. If only he commentated on F1 for ITV!
