| Editorial Reviews:
Michael Schumacher's historic sixth World Championship is just one of many memorable highlights in the Official Review of F1's eventful 2003 season. Compiled from official broadcast coverage including excerpts from post-race interviews and qualifying pole-winners, this annual survey offers concise summaries of all 16 races from Australia (where Finland's Kimi Räikkönen scored a pivotal victory for McLaren) to Japan, where Rubens Barrichello secured a win for himself, the constructor's championship for Ferrari, and all-time greatest honors for his teammate, the über-German Schumacher. Brazil was crazy all around, with sporadic rain, frequent tire changes, a spectacular wipeout by Renault's Fernando Alonso (who still earned a third-place finish), and a judgment-decided victory for Jordan's Giancarlo Fisichella. (Better use of graphics and narration would clarify race-to-race transitions, but knowledgeable F1 fans probably won't notice this forgivable flaw.) "Schumi" scored an emotional victory at San Marino just hours after his mother's death, and won again in Italy (including his fastest-ever lap), Austria, Canada, and the rainy-day U.S. GP (while brother Ralf won the European and French GPs). Ferrari's new "shark-vented" F2003GA debuted at Imola; Juan Pablo Montoya challenged the championship with a win at Monaco (where 2002-to-2003 track changes are shown in split-screen from the cockpit of JPM's Williams); and Alonso's first-place finish at Hungary made him the youngest-ever GP winner. Despite numerous revisions in regulations and Ferrari's mid-season protest over apparent Michelin tire-width violations (judges dismissed the claim while Michelin corrected its tire size), the 2003 F1 season achieved its commercial goal with huge crowds, wacky highlights (remember that kilted loony on the track at Silverstone?), celebrity appearances, climactic races, intense competition from Williams, McLaren, and Renault (to contrast Ferrari's dominance in 2002), and the amazing achievement of Schumacher, now indisputably the greatest driver (statistically speaking) in the history of Formula One. --Jeff Shannon
Description
The world is talking about Formula One™ again, and here is your chance to see why. 2002 was marked by one team's dominance, but 2003 was anybody's game.

New regulations, and a shift in the balance of power in the tire war, ensured that predicting the winner of each race was never easy, and as for the Championship…Eight different drivers stood on the top step of the podium. Three of them secured their maiden victories in FORMULA ONE! Kimi Räikkönen calmly took the title right down to the wire in only his second season with a top team! Juan Pablo Montoya upped his game and came so close. Nothing could faze Fernando Alonso. He became the youngest F1™ race winner in history! Go on board with him as he laps Michael Schumacher! Experience the fastest race in F1 history. Get to the heart of this roller coaster of a season and follow Michael's struggle to win an unprecedented sixth world title.Color, 120 min.

 2003 Formula 1 World Championship January 11, 2007
Moisa Liviu Calin (Cluj-Napoca, Cluj, Romania)
2003 Formula 1 World Championship it's a very good DVD.
compared to the 2005 F1 review this is great! June 4, 2006
frederico (boston, usa)
The more I watch this review the more I want to watch it. Sure it's a littleshort but at least you get true DVD digital picture qualityThe new 2005 F1 review looks like a 80s VHS tape that sat in the sun for a few years. These beautiful cars were meant to be paused and replayed in slo mo forever. Maybe somedayF1 will get it.
 You must be a fan to appreciate.... January 8, 2005
Carson D. Harrell (Charlotte, NC USA)
I love racing of all kinds, but F1 really gets me going. I never get to see the races on TV so this dvd is the only way that I can see it. I loved every second of it. There could have been a lot more done with this dvd, like more in car shots or rpm shots. But this dvd is basically a review of the 2003 season. That's all you get, just information and video clips of every race of the season. Like anyone else, I would have loved to see more camera angles and hear more engine sounds but this is all we get so I will take it. True, it will leave you wanting more, but you'll just have to get over it unless you can go to a race or find a better dvd, both of which are probably unlikely. So if you're a fan of F1 racing then I promise you'll like this dvd.
Amazing Schumi July 11, 2004

Heres one great DVD for the F1 fans. It covers the full qualifying laps of the pole sitters and the main events in the race. Actions made off and on the track. It even covers the controversy of the Michelins tires being a little too wide. Well arent we all great to see Schumacher trying to work his talents when his car is no better than his rivals. Raikkonen scored his maiden win and so does Fernando Alonso whos two years down the road from his age. Making Alonso the youngest ever driver to win a grand prix. Raikkonen almost winning the championship pondering what it would have been if he had scored points in races he retired such as Canada and Spain, which would make him the youngest f1 driver to win the championship. but he didnt do that of course and Schumacher took his 6th world title barely. Raikkonen and Montoya took it to the wire. And its great to see the making of a new Schumacher, Alonso win his first race. Overall a great video, wether you like it or not its the only way to see these guys, champion in the making battle and find glory in what could be the best years of their career.
3 way race for the championship May 18, 2004
2003 was full of drama absent in recent years. Schumacher wasn't winning all the races and Juan and Kimi were strong challengers right up to the last couple of races. The nit-pickers moan and groan about minor points. The picture is clear and crisp, the sound is adequate, and it's fullscreen!
