It’s often more interesting to watch a season review some years later than right after the end of it.

If you’re putting a collection of these videos together, put this one at the bottom of your wish list. An unpleasant viewing experience is completed by intrusive background music which crashes into the footage with jarring regularity. The commentary, typically of this era of videos, is in a contrived “as the action happens” style which sounds dreadful. Yes, the picture quality is very good, but we can take that for granted these days. It’s not likely that even a first-rate production could have salvaged the dreary material, and what we get falls well short of that. The contest was so one-sided we even had the despairing sight of races being fixed in Austria and America. Most of the races were dreary processions won with ridiculous ease by Ferrari. Even so, the official 2002 video is a stinker. The 2002 F1 season provided little in the way of quality racing action that might have formed the basis for an exciting season review.
