"40 Years of Formula One" revives the music and zeitgeist of the wild 80s. Presenters Peter Illmann, Ingolf Lück and Kai Böcking deliver the most successful songs from the era, show milestones from the first music video era and present the biggest upsets and music scandals of the decade: from Michael Jackson, whose cult video for "Thriller" was only allowed to be broadcast after 10 pm, to the groundbreaking "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel.
