Almost but not quite a link & run, but I found the following on PF1 forums and thought I *had* to share it:

Formula 1 1990 Season Review (2hrs!)
Probably one on my VERY favourite seasons but watching it again got me thinking: notice the sheer amount of overtaking and it occuring on tracks now regarded as being 'impossible' to overtake on. The Hungarian race is one of the best of the season for it for heaven's sake!

Still think the tracks are the problem?

BTW if Bernie is reading this (long shot I know!) if the French GP comes back, can we please have it at Paul Ricard rather than Mangy Bore?

Don't worry Skeeter no-one died in the making of this film!

To me it seemed like the 1989/1990 era was the perfect balance between technology and pure racing. You had the emmergence of the semi-auto gearbox, high nose etc and yet aero grip was at a premium still so mechanical grip was still king.

Several classic races that season but the very best had to be Mexico, not least for THAT overtake by Mansell on Berger. Shame the review doesn't have the BBC commentary as Murray's surprise was brilliant
