2009 F1 DVD is called “Not in a hurry”
7th November 2009, 23:13 by Keith Collantine 50 Comments »
The official Formula 1 season reviews often get lumbered with bad names and the 2009 F1 DVD is no exception.
This year’s F1 review will be called “Not in a hurry” according to a sleeveshot posted on Twitter.
It’s hardly the most imaginative title they could have come up with. But then, this is from the same people who brought us the equally uninspiring “Once again” (2006) and “Luck doesn’t come into it” (2008).
I preferred Stealthman’s suggestion of: “I’ll Bet Honda Are Kicking Themselves”
Play.com revealed some more details of the official 2009 F1 season review. It’ll be a two-disc DVD set, no sign of a Blu-Ray or download release though.
The 16-and-a-half races have been distilled into 4hrs 30min of action and includes features on Brawn, the departures of Toyota and BMW, plus a feature on the new Abu Dhabi circuit.
Expect it to be blessed with lots of footage from camera angles only available on the little-seen premium feed. The review goes on sale at the end of the month.

That is a terrible name for an F1 DVD.
Ned Flanders said on 7th November 2009, 23:19
Not only is it another strange name, but it seems to be having a go at Button, which would be unusual for an official review
TommyB said on 8th November 2009, 2:39
The last one had a go at Hamilton saying he was lucky…
Bernard said on 10th November 2009, 12:19
How so? They are indeed bad titles but they are not sarcastic.
Wesley said on 7th November 2009, 23:21
How about:”Big Wings,Loose Springs and lots of Bling”

I love that one

That wouldn’t have been a good name either. The name of the DVD simply needs to sum up the champion’s year, whilst still being a good name.

Yeah, I was joking
sam said on 8th November 2009, 20:43
really keith? i thought you were being serious
AJ Ball said on 8th November 2009, 21:53
Clicking on the the headline I thought ‘Not In a Hurry’ was some kind of sarky joke about the release date being delayed.
AJ Ball said on 8th November 2009, 21:56
…never imagined it was the REAL title!
You understand why Top Gear wins awards after watching F1 DVDs.
Journeyer said on 7th November 2009, 23:40
They managed to sneak Toyota’s withdrawal in there? That’s one for the record books.
Jonesracing82 said on 7th November 2009, 23:44
this will be the longest DVD yet! brilliant.
as for a name, how about “the Brawn Supremicy” i had read that somewhere and thought it was funny.
here in Oz we had to wait till March this year to get last yrs 1, i hope it’s better done this time around as it’s by the same mob as last yr……

Thanks guys
Sush Meerkat said on 8th November 2009, 14:29
Happy birthday to Keith!, dude, you should have told us.
So when is your birthday, i’ll put it in my diary.
Jonesracing82 said on 7th November 2009, 23:46
P.S the special features are never anything special, the ’06 one had a season preview which from all the dvd’s is the only feature i watch again.
being that they goto so much trouble to block ppl downloading the vids from the official F1 site, they should have those clips on there…….
sato113 said on 8th November 2009, 3:09
might as well call it ‘cars go vrooommm!!!‘
Adam said on 8th November 2009, 6:04
Or, “YYYYEEEEEEEEOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW”
James Brickles said on 8th November 2009, 9:58
How about: ‘From nothing to the top.’
From Honda that withdrew to Brawn who took both championships
three4three said on 8th November 2009, 11:04
or simply Zero to Hero
James Brickles said on 8th November 2009, 11:32
Yeah that’s good enough too
John H said on 8th November 2009, 13:06
I have a book on Damon Hill called that. David Tremayne might sue!! $ : )
Bullfrog said on 8th November 2009, 10:16
I’m not in a hurry to buy that. Are all the DVD titles translated or something? (Badly, and at least twice…)
Is it true they keep the best camera angles to put on these? That explains why the racing shots from Abu Dhabi were rubbish: too far away, little sense of speed and the cars kept disappearing under bridges and off picture at critical moments.
Keith Collantine said on 8th November 2009, 10:33
Yeah pretty much, but they are broadcast in some countries where the broadcasters pay extra for the feed. I think one of the German channels used to have it.
And yes, this means we miss a lot of stuff when the races are broadcast. For example when Alonso crashed at Fuji in 2007, we never saw the crash properly on the standard feed, but it was on the DVD.
Platine said on 8th November 2009, 20:58
Thats shocking, how can I watch this German coverage next year?
goofy said on 8th November 2009, 21:59
RTL and Sky Germany (former Premiere) is exactly the same Feed like on BBC (i always watch this three at same time
)
ajokay said on 9th November 2009, 9:43
I used to switch to RTL on my Astra satellite system when ITV went to advert breaks.
German commentry is funny. “In Boxen Schtop!”

What ever happened to the helmet cam, first used by DC for 2 corners at Interlagos 2008? That thing looked great.
Steph90 said on 9th November 2009, 19:34
I know what you mean, that was really superb. It made me feel like I was DC and driving!

All these ‘premium content’ feeds are available on specialist motor sports torrent sites. Just have a good scoot!
Maciek said on 8th November 2009, 20:58
It might an attractive title – but for an official F1 release, it’s rather blatantly honest.
Maciek said on 8th November 2009, 20:59
…might not be….
Platine said on 8th November 2009, 21:09
Brawn Supremacy is a great name, or
On the Button
PJA said on 9th November 2009, 9:54
I don’t see the need for a sub title, I would just call it The Official Formula One Season Review 2009. But I agree some of the recent titles such as this years and last years are a bit rubbish.
Jonesracing82 said on 9th November 2009, 11:53
title dont really bother me, so long as everything that should be on the DVD is there i am happy
