I'm also new to F1. I got into it during COVID when the CTO of my old company got me into Drive to Survive. I got the $30 F1TV subscription last year and I am watching all the old races in the archive. Unfortunately they only have every race replay since 2004. Before that 1999 is the only year with full race replays. Other than that they have only one or two a year. The earliest full replay is 1981. Before that all they have is highlights. And the highlights only go back to 1970. It's a shame. I'd love to watch footage from the Fangio/Moss/Stewart era.
I have watched every race up to 2008 now. I watch 3-4 races a week and take notes on most of them. The annoying part is avoiding spoilers. F1TV uses the season champion as the cover art for each season so that makes it really tough. I try and use autoplay instead of navigating the menu to avoid it.
