The F1® season review has a dramatic new look as the official sleeve design breaks cover.

Featuring - as you'd expect - 2019 Drivers' World Champion Lewis Hamilton, the sleeve image shows the record breaking British star being congratulated by an enormous crowd at the Formula 1 Gran Premio de México.

It's an eye catching design that really stands out on our webpages and will stand out on your shelf too.

Release date for the DVD is scheduled for the 16th of December and - at the time of writing - we're confident of hitting that mark. The Blu-ray, due to longer mastering times and Christmas shutdown at the factory that replicates the discs, won't make it in time for Christmas but should  be in stock on the 13th of January.

In what we think is a first for an F1® season review released by Duke there are actually two designs of sleeve being released at once.

The second design is only available as part of the official 2010-19 box set, to maintain the consistent style across fifty years of F1 videos.

First announced in October 2018, the F1 box set project is one of the biggest releases in Duke's history and the 2010-19 box brings the scheme right up to date, meaning that it will be possible to have fifty years of official reviews sitting on your shelf - a first for any motorsport series as far as we're aware.

Apart from the different sleeve design the content of the box set version of the 2019 Season Review is identical to the standalone edition.

That means you get two discs packed with high-quality action. Running time is still to be finally confirmed but the current estimate, including extras, is approximately 6 hours and 15 minutes - but this may vary slightly in the finished edit.

In that bumper running time there will be extended highlights of each round, plus pole position qualifying OBC (onboard camera) laps and more special features.

A future edition of this blog will go into more detail about content, once the final review is nailed down.
