DVD, 210 minutes
(Region 0, PAL)
With Spaniard Fernando Alonso crowned as his nation's first Formula 1 title holder in Brazil, the fight was now on to win the constructors'
championship. It was going to be tough for his team Renault to regain the lead after McLaren moved in front by
two points with its 1-2 finish at Interlagos. McLaren's MP4-20 was clearly the class of the field, but was
Alonso’s R25 strong enough to take on Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya? Let the battle commence!
This official review features the best coverage from every round, including practice & qualifying
sessions, plus mind-blowing on-board laps.
