Lots of cheesy music and a cheap american voiceover in parts which jars with the rest. At one point there were people talking in English with a German translator talking over them, with subtitles in English so it has a cheap straight-to-DVD feel about it. Not as good as the Senna or Hunt documentaries but worth a watch.
