 A few flaws, but overall good review January 7, 2009
This was again released on 2 discs, and overall it looks great except when the camera moves to follow cars - some goofy panning artifacts appear and it's particularly distracting wherever there are white and red lines (such as the kerbs or the logo on the Ferrari rear wing). I don't remember seeing such problems on the 2007 review.
Content-wise it is surprisingly similar to watching the races on Speedtv - complete with their style of instant replays on some of the crash moments. There was some camera work that seemed original, but I was hoping for more. I didn't feel it was biased toward anyone in particular, but hey Lewis won the championship so it's only natural that we see a lot of him. One other thing I find annoying is the motion menus - they are pretty but slow and the disc prevents you from hurrying them up. Generally I find this sort of thing self-indulgent and irritating for people who watch their dvds more than once.
One thing I really would like to see more of is camera shots that are steady, not panning, complete with sound so we can have some sense of what it is like to be there, just standing next to the track as the cars scream by. This was the most impressive thing I remember about actually viewing a race in person - especially since I saw a practice day in Montreal and what I most remember is the delightful cacophony of engine notes surrounding me, and occasionally thundering past.
Good job overall for fans of the sport. It was a great year so of course this is nice to have.
 Only for the Lewis Rammilton fans January 2, 2009

So disappointing there is nothing good in this DVD, well except if you are a LH fan. There should be more focus on all the teams and not just LH
Getting so tired of Bernie's PR Machine, he has lost it.
Are you a LH fan you will love it.
