Essential F1 World Championship Review [DVD]

The 2005 Formula 1 season saw a remarkable rise in the career of Fernando Alonso, who became the youngest driver to take pole position, the youngest race winner, and the youngest Formula 1 World Champion ever. This year was marked by dramatic changes, with new rules and a radical shake-up of the old order. The long-standing Ferrari domination came to an end, as the team from Maranello could manage only one top-step podium finish.

The season was characterized by a thrilling battle for supremacy between Renault and McLaren. Renault's four consecutive race wins at the start of the season left McLaren struggling to keep up, but with Kimi Räikkönen's fierce challenge, they fought back. With three races remaining, the championship contenders had six wins apiece, and the outcome remained uncertain until the very end.

Nine different drivers took pole position, and five won races in this record-breaking season, showcasing the depth of talent in the field. The Constructors' World Championship title was also up for grabs, even after Alonso had been crowned the Driver's Champion.

Fans can experience the excitement of the inaugural Formula 1 Turkish Grand Prix by riding on-board with Kimi Räikkönen during a qualifying lap, and witness the infamous turn eight. The special features and exclusive on-board footage in "FANTASTIC FERNANDO" provide a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most glamorous sports in the world, marking the beginning of a new era in Formula 1 motor racing.
