 Back to the drawing board. February 11, 2010
Frederico E. Pinto Jr.
Why are these DVD Reviews great then bad then great then bad again seemlingly from year to year? Buyers beware. F1 Reviews 2000,2003,2004,2007 Great! 2005,3006,2008 BAD! 2009 Review? Who knows. Someone in charge of these things being released needs to be canned.
 Muy buen resumen de la temporada December 14, 2009
Pablo Camacho (Montevideo, Uruguay)
Aunque el resultado de la temprada 2008 no fue el deseado por mi ya que soy fan a muerte de Ferrari, el resumen es muy bueno.
Está filmado con una calidad de imagen excelente.
Recomendado para todos los amantes de la F1.
 Fantastic F1 season - DVD quality not nearly as bad as some reviewers would have you believe May 17, 2009
M. Gregory (Boston, MA)
I've been watching Formula 1 for 25 years, and the 2008 season was undoubtedly one of the most exciting I have ever seen. However, some folk here seem to have lost sight of the quality of the racing, and instead have got themselves all bent out of shape over the quality of this review DVD.
In my opinion, much of the criticism is overstated. The 2008 season review DVD is eminently watchable, despite some artifacts and ghosting on some of the race footage. How serious and prevelant is it? Not very. Should one expect a professionally produced DVD costing about $30.00 to be nigh on perfect? Absolutely. It is frustrating that this one is not quite there in terms of video quality? Only if you let it become so.
I wonder if the reviewers upset with the video quality are too young to remember what it was like to use VCR's. Those of us who struggled with videotape degredation, and the vagaries of using such a cumbersome system, still marvel at the convenience and overall reliability of DVD, and are perhaps a little more forgiving of the occasional artifact, etc.
The 2008 F1 season was incredible, and pretty much went down to the last corner of the last race. For those of you thinking about picking up this DVD, don't listen to the naysayers suggesting you save your money and pass it by. You can buy with confidence, safe in the knowledge that you will enjoy some incredible footage of a truly fantastic year of Formula 1 motor racing.
It's okay, not too good. March 4, 2009
Kevin C. Li (Campbell, CA USA)
As you know, this 2008 Formula One season is a very breathtaking and exciting. But, this video is only so-so. It has some quality issues. The visual effect is kind of blur. When I watch this video on a 50" TV, it is kind of unclear. So, overall, I am a bit disappointed this year. Hopefully, next year will be better.
Great review only lacks balance February 27, 2009

I would rate this disc set miles above the disaster of the '06 season review, and on par or better than last year's '07 review. I'm so glad they started putting this on two discs.
Would've given it five stars, but they're a bit too much over the top with Hamilton. Despite his moment in the limelight, I think most long time followers of F1 will almost cringe at some of the "gushing" presented here.
A great recount of an exciting season . . . that would've been a home run with more editorial balance.
